We also had a Kiwanis guest reader again Thursday evening. Note to self: Dr. Seuss books do not always lend themselves quite so well to guest readers who do not frequently read to young children, but it did go 'okay'.
Books:
Fox in Socks, by Dr. Seuss
My Many Colored Days, by Dr. Seuss
Songs/Fingerplays:
Cat in the Hat Fingerplay
Author Unknown
Put on his hat and went out to play.
Two little cats when it started getting dark
Put on their hats and went to the park.
Three little cats when the sky was blue
Put on their hats and went to the zoo.
Four little cats by the kitchen door
Put on their hats and went to the store.
Five little cats on a sunny day
Put on their hats and they all ran away
Have You Ever Seen a Fishy
Traditional Song
Have
you ever seen a fishy on a hot summer day?
palms up in questioning gesture
Have you ever seen a fishy, a swimmin' in the bay?
With its hands in its pockets, and its pockets in its pants,
hands on top of front pants pockets
Have you ever seen a fishy do the Hoochy Coochy Dance?
dramatically move hands to on top of back pockets
You never did!
clap, clap
You never will!
clap, clap
Sing repeating above actions but pretend to have arms frozen to your side.
Have you ever seen a fishy on a cold winter day?
Have you ever seen a fishy, a swimmin' in the bay?
With its hands in its pockets, and its pockets in its pants,
Have you ever seen a fishy do the Hoochy Coochy Dance?
You never did!
You never will!

Crafts:
Pipe Cleaner Finger Puppet: Because Dr. Seuss is the "king" of fun, interesting, creative creatures, our craft this evening was a finger type puppet made out of pipe cleaner and googly eyes. It was a very simple craft, even for the youngest ones.
