Step Into Storytime, September 24

Today we had a big crowd at storytime! It was a gray fall day, so maybe the weather urged people inside, or perhaps they’re just getting back into the rhythm of the season (storytimes are a little more sporadic in the summer because of all the other programs we do). There were at least 15 kids in the 2-3 age range, plus assorted siblings and several late arrivals. In the beginning, we had more than ten but I did the name song anyway – it’s a great way to learn names and start building individual connections.

Books face out on storytime chair
Tyrannosaurus Wrecks!, Oh No George!, Please Mr. Panda, Count the Monkeys, Five Little Monkeys, Chu’s Day, Still Stuck
  • “Hello Friends” song with ASL
  • Name song (“Hello ____, hello ___, hello ____, we’re glad you came today”)
  • Handed out shaker eggs for Tyrannosaurus Wrecks! by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen, illustrated by Zachariah Ohora
  • Kept the shaker eggs for Oh No, George! by Chris Haughton. Collected shaker eggs after.
  • Song cube: ABC song
  • Please, Mr. Panda by Steve Antony
  • Song cube: “If You’re Happy and You Know It”
  • Five Little Monkeys Jumping On the Bed by Eileen Christelow (jumping encouraged!)
  • Count the Monkeys by Mac Barnett, illustrated by Kevin Cornell
  • Song cube: “I Had A Little Turtle”
  • Scarves (by audience request) for Still Stuck by Shinsuke Yoshitake. Collected scarves.
  • Goodbye song with ASL. Put away colored mats. Dance party with bubbles! (We have an old ipod loaded up with Raffi and Disney versions of classic kid music. And I brought my own bubbles from home because I am devoted to Pustefix bubbles.)

I skipped the flannel board and craft this week, but for next week I am thinking of a craft with paper dots and glue to go with Lots of Dots, and maybe The Very Hungry Caterpillar flannel board again…if I can make a butterfly before next Monday!
