We're back!! First day of storytime! Actually, it is the first day of our new school year programs. We have a bunch of new stuff planned ... and we are very excited to get started. Our storytime group is a bit small this year: five on Wednesdays and six on Thursdays. Also, they are ALL boys with only one girl. So, this should be interesting. But, I am up for the challenge. I love that every year it is a bit of different.
Stay tuned ....
Read: Book! Book! Book! by Deborarh Bruss and I Love Going Through This Book by Robert Burleigh
Flannel board: There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Books
Our copy of the book went "missing" (a.k.a. never returned) so, I had to improvise on some of the text.
Craft: Book Worm Book Mark
Need: Sticky-back paper, tissue paper scraps, green paper, yarn and hole-punch.
- Prior to storytime, I cute 3 x 14 inch book marks from the sticky-back paper. We have a ton of tissue paper scraps from various projects ... so that was handy. And Susan, cut out worm shapes from the green paper.
- We folded the book marks in half (to make a back and front) and taped it to craft table. We left one half exposed and the other half covered.
- After we read our booky stories, I asked the kiddos to select a craft seat.
- At this point, the kiddos explored the sticky-paper. (We don't need ANY glue!!)
- Then they stuck on their worm and then the colorful paper.
- While we were creating our book marks, I asked the kiddos if they knew what was the purpose of a book mark. And we discussed the proper care of books and etc.
- When they finished, I folded the sticky-paper together to make a book mark. We also punched a hole on top and threaded a piece of yarn. And finished it up with their name and date on the back.
