Preschool Storytime:
*A lot of my plan I didn't get to do, because we had to move our storytime outside, unexpectedly. Because of this, I didn't take all of my props or puppets out with me. Also, we had landscaping going on at the same time, since we didn't get to reserve the park. So, I had to cut out some of the things I had planned, but we still made it work, and that's what counts!
Opening: Big Books
Book: Count the Monkeys
*I love this book! It's really fun to make interactive, and the kids seemed to enjoy it.
Fingerplay: Five Little Bunnies
Hippety hop and hippety hay,
Five little bunnies went out to play.
Hippety hop and hippety hay.
One little bunny hopped away.
*Repeat until no one left
Hippety hop and hippety hay,
One little bunny hopped away.
No more bunnies are playing today.
*Everyone went crazy over this fingerplay, which made me very happy! I put up five rabbits on my flannelboard, so that the kids could help me count while we were hopping around. I found the words for it here.
Book: Five Little Monkeys Play Hide and Seek
*I love using this book with the kids, and have them help me find the monkeys hiding in the book. I think they would have enjoyed this much more if we were inside were everyone could see the illustrations better, but still a great read!
Fingerplay: Five Little Fishies Swimming in the Sea
*We didn't do this song, but it's such a fun one to use!
Fingerplay/Flannel: Make a Pig
*I absolutely love having the kids help me make something on the flannelboard, and we made a pig. I found the awesome idea for this here.
Song: Five in the Truck
*This is another perfect song that fit in wonderfully with this theme, but we didn't get to do it this time. You can see it done here.
For our craft, the kids got to glue the correct number of dots onto the ladybugs.
