THE PLAN

Playtime
We played with a lot of toys today.

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.

Beginning Song

All About Today
Friday's weather was cold and sunny!  Winter is sticking around for the time being.

Read & Listen:
We read two books today!  This Storytime session, we are focusing on different authors.  For this Storytime, we read books by Kate & Jim McMullan.    We first read I Stink!



We also sang The Wheels on the Bus!

The wheels on the bus go round and round
Round and round, round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round
All through the town.
(continue with other verses)
The wipers on the bus go "Swish, swish, swish…
The baby on the bus says, "Wah, wah, wah…
The people on the bus say, "Shh, shh, shh…

Then we read I'm Bad!



Learning Time
We played the really fun math game again today.  The kids had to roll the dice, find the number on the worksheet, and then color it in with a crayon.  The girl had more luck rolling the numbers on the dice, while the boy had trouble with rolling the correct numbers.

Friday's weather was cool and sunny!  Winter is (hopefully!) leaving us!

Read & Listen:
We read two books today!  This Storytime session, we are focusing on different authors.  For this Storytime, we read books by Jez Alborough.    We first read Where's My Teddy?


We also said this really fun Teddy Bear rhyme:
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Turn around!
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Touch the ground!
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Jump up high!
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Touch the sky!

Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Bend down low!
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Touch you toes!
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Turn out the light!
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Say good night!

Then we read It's the Bear!


Learning Time
We played a really fun math game today.  The kids had to roll the dice, find the number on the worksheet, and then color it in with a crayon.  One kid was so lucky, he rolled all of the numbers right away!  Another girl wasn't so lucky, and had to keep rolling to get the right numbers.  Great game, and I think I'll be using this game again.

Family Storytime, Next Week!
