Family Storytime: School

9/14/2018

The 2018 - 2019 school year is upon us!  The teacher in me always gets excited about all of the school supplies in the store.  I still wander the Target Dollar Spot looking for cute pens and pencils because I need to have a purple pen with cat ears or a mechanical pencil with a llama eraser.  If I were a dragon, I'd hoard cute school supplies. #ExTeacherConfessions

While the kiddos (and maybe some of the teachers) may not be quite ready to go back to school, I know that I am looking forward to my last year of grad school!

PRE-STORYTIME MUSIC

These are the songs that we listened to before storytime began.  If you are interested in checking out these songs, the album cover images are linked to Amazon so you can listen to a sample and/or purchase these great songs!

"Good Day Sunshine"
Picture
"Books! Books! Books!"

"There's a Dog in School"

PRE-STORYTIME ACTIVITY: I-Spy School

I found a really neat school themed I-Spy activity on Teachers Pay Teachers.  I-Spy books are very popular at my library so I thought a pre-storytime I-Spy activity would be just the ticket!

HELLO SONG

Credit:  Verona Storytime
To the tune of "Jolly Good Fellow"


We’ll wave hello together,
We’ll wave hello together,
We’ll wave hello together,
Because it’s fun to do.
 
We’ll give a hug together,
We’ll give a hug together,
We’ll give a hug together,
Because it’s kind to do.
 
We’ll high five together,
We’ll high five together,
We’ll high five together,
Because it’s fun to do.

LETTER OF THE WEEK: Ss

I like to use the collage to talk about different objects that begin with the letter of the week.  We sang "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star".  We talked about grilled cheese vs. peanut butter and jellly sandwiches. 

RECORDED MUSIC

These are the songs that we danced to during storytime.  If you are interested in checking out these songs, the album cover images are linked to Amazon so you can listen to a sample and/or purchase these great songs!
