THE PLAN

Playtime
We colored using only green crayons for playtime today.  We drew lots of tractors, apples, and leaves.

Two Little Hands
We stretched out our limbs and shook out our wiggles before doing our rhyme.  See this post for our Two Little Hands rhyme

All About Today

Friday's weather was cool and windy!   

Learning Time:

Today we read the nursery rhyme, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star".  Each week during this Storytime session will feature a different nursery rhyme.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

How I wonder what you are.

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

How I wonder what you are.

I talked to the kids about melodies, and how the ABC song and Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star have the same tunes.

Read & Listen:

We read Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star by Caldecott Medal winner Jerry Pinkney.  After the first verse, the kids were surprised to see that there are more verses to the song.

Learning Time:

I hid a bunch of shapes with numbers on them around the library.  The kids had to find all of the shapes and put them into number order.
