Preschool Storytime:
Opening: Big Books
Book: This Book Just Ate My Dog (Special Guest doing ASL)
*The preschoolers really enjoyed telling me all my animals kept disappearing inside this book! This book is such a great interactive book to use. I especially love the part where the book "burps" up all the characters.

Fingerplay/Flannel: Five Little Doggies Jumping on the Bed
Book: This Book is RED
*I was so excited to read this book, but the kids didn’t enjoy it like I had hoped. One thing that really touched my heart was a mom came up to me afterwards and was reading some of the smaller lines that I didn't read aloud. That was really cool to me. This book might work better as a one-on-one, because there is so much to read on each page. I do recommend it, just not a storytime book for me.
Fingerplay/Flannel: Animal and Homes Matching Game
*For this flannel board I have different animal homes that I put up on my board. A doghouse, nest, fishbowl, etc. Then I place my animals in the wrong spot. Instantly the preschoolers started telling me where I had everything wrong, which was exactly what I was after. I love doing things like this, helping them learn when they think that all they are doing is correcting me when I'm dong something wrong.

Book: The Case of the Missing Chalk Drawings
*This is the first time I've read this book in storytime, and it went really well! I had the preschoolers do actions with me and that really helped move the story along too.

Action Song: IIf You’re a Drawing and You Know It
If you’re a crayon and you know it, then scribble! (wave scarf around and around)
If you’re a crayon and you know it, then scribble!
If you’re a crayon and you know it, all your scribbling will show it,
If you’re a crayon and you know it, then scribble!
*Paintbrush…swish around (wave scarf really fast)*Pen…Pop your lid (ball up scarf in hands then throw up into the air)
*I am trying to end each storytime with something interactive. For this wonderful fingerplay I wanted to work in scarves. So, at the end of the lines I put down what we did with our scarves. The preschoolers adore dancing around with scarves and this time was no exception to that!

We had games today after storytime for preschool and again later this week for two's. You can see everything that we did this week by clicking here!
Our craft today was a scruffy, adorable doggie! Some of the girls put the bow up at the top of the doggie's ear which just melted my heart. So precious! The only addition to the picture below is we had a paper crayon that the preschoolers could glue to their picture. One little boy did use his crayon as a collar for his doggie. So cute!

Extra Books:
*This book is amazing! I wish that I had it in time for storytime, because there are flaps that you lift to show what Andrew is really drawing, which really makes this book astounding! Next time I definitely plan on reading this book.
Time for Two’s Storytime:
Opening: Big Books
Fingerplay: If You Want to Hear a Story
Book: Will You Help Doug Find His Dog?
*This is a long book for the two's and because of that reason I was worried. Surprisingly they did fabulous listening to it! What helped was this book is interactive so we did lots of actions all throughout the book, which is one of the many reasons why I love it so much.

Fingerplay/Flannel: Five Little Doggies Jumping on the Bed
Book: Dog’s Colorful Day
*As I'm reading this book, my volunteer held up our big dog puppet. Each time dog would get another spot on him, I would take a spot and put it on my puppet. The two's thoroughly enjoyed watching my puppet get covered up with spots!
