Rhyme: There Was a Little Turtle
I introduced this as a rhyme, but a child informed me it didn't rhyme so it has to be called a poem. This is the second time in two weeks I have been called out about this by a four year old!
Book: Home for a Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown
I love this book so much, and the kids did, too.
Song: Shake My Sillies Out
Book: Guess What I’ll Be by Anni Axworthy
This was a perfect guessing game for this mostly-four-year-old group.
Song with Poster: Over in the Meadow
One little girl got really into this song. Another asked questions after each verse. It was much more successful this time than the last time I used it.
Books: Big Woods Orchestra by Guido Van Genechten
The kids showed no interest in this book during story time, but then they asked me to read it again during the craft. I read an abbreviated version without all the bird calls, and somehow they seemed to like that better than the first time through when I made all the silly sounds!
Craft: Bird Coloring Page
Everyone got really into the design of their birds. Even some older girls who didn't come to story time stopped by to do some coloring!
I use the same hello and goodbye songs at almost every session. Click here for the tunes and words. For descriptions of each of my story times, click here.
