Balloons!

THE PLAN

Playtime
We played with an alphabet train puzzle 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
See this post for our Beginning Song.

All About Today
Friday's weather was cool and cloudy!  

Read & Listen:
We read two books today!  First we read Tea Rex by Molly Idle.


Then we sang a couple of silly songs, all by Jim Gill!  The first one was Tea for Two  and then we Hands Are For Clapping.

We read another book, The Black Rabbit by Philippa Leathers.  


Goodbye Song
I changed it up a bit this Storytime.  We sang our goodbye song before the activity, so we could actually sing it.  We do Itsy Bitsy Spider for our goodbye song.  We also sang about the great big spider, the teeeeny tiny spider, and the rockin' rollin' spider.

Science Activity
Today we talked about balloons and static electricity.  I had the kids guess if I could stick the balloon to the wall, they said no.  Then I asked them if I could get the balloon to stick to the wall if I rubbed it on my hair, they said no.  Their eyes lit up when it actually stayed on the wall!  I had enough balloons for everyone, and we were sticking them to the wall and batting them around.  The kids loved the activity.
