Hello!
Hello!
Hello, how are you?
I'm fine!
I'm fine!
I hope that you're fine, too. (I repeat this three times, then have the kids say a big hello while waving at all the other kids they see.)
This is a song by Ella Jenkins on her Multicultural Children's Songs CD.
Opening discussion: What is the Caldecott Medal?
Literacy: This Is Not My Hat by Jon Klassen
The kids and I are puzzled as to how this book won. We disagree!
Literacy: One Cool Friend by Tony Buzzeo
I don't even know about this one. The kids were bored with it a couple of pages through. Not a bad book, but not Caldecott material.
Second Story Stretch: Put Your Finger In the Air (This is pretty good, but I usually stop at Put your finger on your shoe. This song can be real long if you let it!)
Literacy: Creepy Carrots by Aaron Reynolds
In our humble opinions, Creepy Carrots was the real winner.
This video is a really interesting behind-the-scenes with the illustrator.
Closing Song: I tried a different song, at this storytime that just bombed terribly! What was I thinking?!!!
Library March (To the tune of Father Abraham)
The library
Has many books
Many books has the library
I like to read
And so do you
So let's just have some fun
Right arm!
Let's go!
Each round you add on another movement until you sit down at the end:
Left arm
Right foot
Left foot
Heads up
Turn around
Sit down!
