We had a smaller crowd yesterday, probably due to the amazing weather and the fact that I had been out ill for a few days. But we still had fun and even had some new faces!
Hello, How are You? Welcome Song
Scarlette Beane by Karen Wallace
Then we played a few parachute games as we listened to Tom Pease's song Turn the World Around.
Tops and Bottoms by Janet Stevens
Song Corn, Beans, & Squash on the CD Pickin & Grinnin by Music for Little People. I passed out photos of corn, beans, and squash and we danced around.
Subway by Anastasia Suen
We ran out of time for Find Rain Forest Animals: Up, Down, Around by Janice Behrens. (Sorry, Ms Behrens.)
We finished up with the poem Skies and Seas by Amy LV and it can be found here. I split it up into a two person poem and called for an adult volunteer to help me read it aloud. The highlighted and underlined sections denote who read which section, with some parts being read by both people.
Skies and Seas
A boat and an airplane fell in love
From afar and away and afar
but the boat couldn't fly
and the plane couldn't swim so
They stayed where they were they are.
The plane looked down
And the boat looked up
Writing love letters on the blue
In wisps of white and watery waves.
I love you. I love you. I love you.
Minutes months and decades passed.
They grew old in love and apart.
The plane swam skies.
The boat flew seas.
Each with a broken heart.
Next Wednesday is our final Storytime until our Storytime with Teachers on August 21 and 28. Join us July 31 for I Dig for Treasure as we read about pirates, treasure, and more! Each child will be able to participate in a scavenger hunt and go home with a special surprise as a thank you for an amazing session of Storytime. We had records numbers at storytime all summer and we hope to see you during the school year as much as possible!

Insects Storytime
This was our second to last storytime. Again, we sat in a circle! Exciting stuff!
Song: Hello, How are You? by Dr. Jean
Then we played a guessing game with the same insects I used later for "There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Bugs" by Johnette Downing. I asked basic questions about each insect/critter (is the slug an insect??) and then put them on the felt.
Chorale Reading: I Like Bugs by Margaret Wise Brown. The kids are getting used to following directions and the parents used to reading along with me. Over the summer, we'll read the same book multiple times. Then the children will start memorizing the words and it will be great!
Book on CD: Bugs! Bugs! Bugs! by Weston Woods and Bob Barner
Song: The Bumble Dance on The Bee's Knees CD "We Share the Earth" Because of lower numbers, we were able to use TWO instruments to dance with!
Book with felt pieces: There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Bugs by Johnette Downing - As i read the story, the children took turns placing their insect on the felt. Each child was able to to do two insects.
Book: I Love Bugs! by Philomen Sturges
Song: The Itsy Bitsy Spider. We sang it through the "correct" way, then replaced rain with snow, sleet, and jellybeans. Then we replaced the word sun with pizza. Then we sang it with rain and sun, again.
Poem: Oh, Fly on page 6 in Jane Yolen's 'Bug Off! Creepy, Crawly Poems'
We ran out of time for the song Head, Thorax, Abdomen on Johnette Downing's CD "Boogie Woogie Bugs"
Goodbye Songs:
We waved buggy parts instead of human parts yesterday :)
Next week is our final school year storytime. We will have a party complete with treats, freebies, and an activity! We will resume again in June. Remember, the whole family is welcome to attend storytime. If you have an older child that might tag along, we always have books to read and other stuff set aside.

Bears Storytime November 28
Today was all about bears! Teddy bears, panda bears, polar bears, cubs, and more!
Hello, How Are you? by Dr. Jean
Bears by Carey Molter(nonfiction)
Baby Bear, Baby Bear, What Do you See? by Bill Martin, Jr.
Bear in Love by Daniel PinkwaterTeddy Bear (I acted this out while holding a puppet)
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn around.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, touch the ground.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, show your shoe.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, that will do.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, go upstairs.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, reach in the air.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn around.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, sit on the ground.
It's the Bear by Jez AlboroughThen we acted out the song/book "Going on a Bear Hunt." We went AROUND our puppet tree, AROUND a "mountain" (chairs), THROUGH a river (blue felt tied to bookshelves that one can crawl under/through), INTO a cave, saw the bear, and went back.
Bears by Ruth Krauss & Maurice Sendak
Goodbye Songs: It is Time to Say Goodbye and
Wave your feet goodbye.
Wave your knees goodbye.
Wave your hips goodbye.
Wave your shoulders goodbye.
Wave your hands and say "goodbye."
We ran out of time for Copy Me, Copycub by Richard Evans. I had expected this, however.
NEXT WEEK we will read and dance to some of Jenna's favorites that were published in 2012.
