For this storytime, we borrowed the Being Brave kit from IFLS.
We had our good morning song.
Book: When Lions Roar by Robie H Harris
Felt: Rhyming Dust Bunnies (see picture below)
Book: My Lucky Day by Keiko Kasza
Book: Bully by Laura Vaccaro Seeger
Song: Squirrel, Squirrel (we sang this song at the Girl Scout Camp I went to and worked at - always a favorite) which we sang about 3 times.
Squirrel, squirrel shake your bushy tail.
Squirrel, squirrel shake your bushy tail.
Wrinkle up your nose and crinkle up your toes.
Squirrel, squirrel shake your bushy tail.
Book: Ol' Mama Squirrel by David Ezra Stein
Goodbye Songs and Bubbles
For Playgroup, I had a balancing obstacle course set up, set out the dust bunnies, and we also made shoebox paintings with rocks, paint, paper, and a shoebox.
Feelings Storytime
A kit from IFLS was borrowed this week, as well.
Good morning song
Book: Hug Machine by Scott Campbell
Felt: Go Away, Big Green Monster - each child brought up part of the face when it was their turn
Puppet: I told David Ezra Stein's story, Pouch, using the puppets.
Game: Pass the Face
We sat in a circle semi-circle. I showed a silly face to the child next to me. They copied me and passed the face on to the next person, continuing around the circle down the line. They quite enjoyed this game!
Song: Old MacDonald Had Some Feelings -
Instead of singing about the animals, we sang about his feelings. I completely stole this idea from Jill Patchin at LE Phillips Memorial Public Library and used their wheel die cut machine. (Thanks, Jill!)
We ran out of time for Drum Dream Girl, which I kinda expected but had it there anyway.
Goodbye Song and Bubbles
For playgroup, I had playdoh, our mini "post office," the kangaroo puppets, and the big green monster puppet set out.
Next week: Woodland Creatures!
April 29 is our final spring 2015 storytime. Storytime will resume in June. Don't stay away, though! Playgroup will continue through the month of May at 10am. I will continue to have on your own and lightly guided activities for your families to explore.
