We Love to Read! Drop-In Story Time, 1/15/13
Song: If You’d Like to Read a Book
Book: The Wonderful Book by Leonid Gore
There was a group of four year olds who loved this book. I was glad I chose a longer book, since they wound up joining story time, but it was too long for almost everyone else, adults included.
Flannel Board Rhyme: Down Around the Corner
I printed out covers of five well-known picture books (shown above) and did "Down around the corner at the children's bookstore" where boys and girls bought the books and took them away.
Book: I Like Books by Anthony Browne
Flannel Board Song (with ukulele): I’m Going Down to the Library
We had the whole family visit the library - Mom, Dad, baby, brother, sister, grandma, and grandpa.
Song: I’m a Little Teapot
Letter of the Day: U
- Song: Red Umbrella Keeps Me Dry
- Song: Here We Go Up, Up, Up
- Song: Under the Big Chestnut Tree (We sang only the English.)
- Song (with ukulele): Ukulele Song (I wrote this song ten minutes before story time. It wasn't as good as I imagined, but I might be able to work on it more and make it work.)
Rhyme: This is Big, Big, Big
Rhyme: Blue is the Lake
Song: The Wheels on the Bus
Song: The More We Read Together
