Baby Time
Boy, those babies do a mean Hokey Pokey! You moms can't always see your baby's face while you're dancing around, but they're adorable! Some are smiling and laughing (or squealing) and some just look amazed by the commotion.
We also did:
Bounce You Here
I bounce you here
I bounce you there
I bounce you, bounce you everywhere!
I tickle you here...
I hug you here...

Up goes you!
Just Like Me
(To the tune of "London Bridge")
Make your hands go clap, clap, clap,
Clap, clap, clap. Clap, clap, clap.
Make your hands go clap, clap, clap.
Just like me.
Make your arms go up and down...
Make your feet go tap, tap, tap...
Toddler Time
I introduced a fall rhyme today that they seemed to like.
Little Leaves
Little leaves fall gently down,
Red and yellow, orange and brown,
Swirling, swirling round and round,
Quietly, without a sound.
Preschool Storytime
This week our theme was "Clothing." We had fun looking at the colors on our clothing and singing the "Color Song" from Wee Sing Games. Our books were:
Whose Shoe, by Miller
Thomas' Snowsuit, by Munsch
Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing, by Barrett
The flannelboard story was Bit by Bit, by Sanfield, available at the library as a picture book.
I also used book props to tell the story The Mitten, which is an old Ukrainian folktale told many different ways and in many different picture book formats. One of my favorites is by Jan Brett, also available at the library - even at our branch!
