I'm so glad to be back to work! I'm feeling better, but not back to 100 percent this week. I wasn't super crazy with the books I picked out to read this week, but I guess everybody has an off week, right? But I thank the Lord that at least I'm back to work, yeah!
Preschool Storytime:
Opening: Big Books
Action: Mitten Match-Up
*Hold up different mittens have kids tell you what’s wrong until you get correct pair. The kids loved telling me that I wasn't matching my mittens up correctly. I love being able to teach them something without them realizing that they are learning something while doing this with me.
Book: One Mitten
*I was so excited to read this book. I even bought myself a pair of yellow mittens to wear as I read this book. For whatever reason, the kids didn't get into this book at all. Maybe this is more a one-on-one book. Next time I think I'll tell "The Mitten" by Jan Brett.
Fingerplay/Flannel: Make a Snowman
*For this, I start out with my snowman on the flannelboard, without any arms or a hat. I ask the kids what he needs, and then proceed to give him the wrong items. Instead of a traditional black hat, I give my snowman a cowboy hat and a big, pink floppy hat. Then I finally get it right and put on the black hat. For arms, I give my snowman big muscle arms and wings. The kids screamed, jumped up and down with such excitement during this. So much fun!
Book: Ten on the Sled
*The kids enjoyed this one, especially seeing the animals disappear behind me.
Fingerplay/Flannel: Snowman
Snowman, snowman, hat so red, pat your legs and nod your head.
Snowman, snowman, hat so blue, touch your knee, then your shoe.
Snowman, snowman, hat so white, clap your hands with all your might.
Snowman, snowman, hat so green, jump up like a jumping bean.
Snowman, snowman, hat so brown, reach up high then touch the ground.
Snowman, snowman, hat so black, rub your tummy, then touch your back.
Snowman, snowman turn around and sit back down!
Fingerplay/Puppets: “There’s Something in the Snow”
There’s something in the snow, now what can it be?
There’s something in the snow that I can’t really see.
Hear it’s funny sound…OINK OINK
A pig is what I found!
Contiunue with: Neigh, neigh, a horse is what I found.
Moo, moo, a cow is what I found.
Baa, baa, a sheep is what I found.
*For this fingerplay, I used my portable speaker and brought up an app that played farm sounds. One little preschooler caught onto me! He looked at my tablet to see what I was doing and said there's going to be more animals coming! Then he proceeded to tell what animal was next, oh my. You gotta chuckle at that one!
Fingerplay/Flannel: Cat Hiding Game
*I didn't do this cute hiding game, but be sure to check it out!

Today our craft was a cute snowman!
Extra Books:
*Next time I read this, I think it'd be cute to have the kids stand up and jump as the bunny is jumping throughout the book.

Time for Two’s Storytime:
Fingerplay: If You Want to Hear a Story
Book: Mitten
*Loved seeing animals disappear inside my mitten and come flying out at the end.
Fingerplay/Flannel: Cat Hiding Game
Little kitten, little kitten. Are you under the RED mitten?
*I changed the words to this at the last minute, but check out the original version, it's adorable!
