So, it is time to get back to thinking about new things to do with my storytimes. I won't lie, it was nice to be planned so far ahead of time (i.e., knowing that there is a certain obvious order to the ABCs and we were following that order). Unfortunately, as a rule, I am normally not that prepared....but I keep trying!
Colors and Numbers (as far as we can get before storytimes end for the season, before summer reading program) are next.
We did not have a craft today (primarily due to time available to plan a craft on my part this past week or so), but we did have a snack of colorful Great Value (Wal-Mart) fruit snacks - very colorful; and a flannel storyboard of "10 in the Bed" (picture below), instructions found at: http://www.makinglearningfun.com/themepages/TenintheBedFeltBoard.htm.
The books we read today were:
The Crayon Box that Talked, by Shane DeRolf
and
Colors for Zena, by Monica Wellington
Like I said, we did not do a craft, but the book Colors for Zena would lend itself very well to doing painting and mixing colors with the kids. Unfortunately, because we are going through a library renovation right now, and we don't necessarily have a good area for messiness, we can't do it :(
