Monday 3/4 Toddler Time

   This week's theme was transportation. Here are the books we read for this storytime:

  

   This week's attendance was good. We had 13 children and their caregivers attend. Here's the list of songs we did with these books:

Song: Good Morning

Song: Shake Your Hands

Book: Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons by Eric Litwin

Song:  Five Little Monkeys

Song: Choo Choo Train (finger play) This is a choo-choo train,
   Bend arms at elbows.
Puffing down the track.
  Rotate forearms in rhythm.
Now it's going forward,
  Push arms forward; continue rotating motion.
Now it's going back.
   Pull arms back; continue rotating motion.
Now the bell i sringing,
   Pull bell cord with closed fist.
Now the whistle blows.
   Hold fist near mouth and blow.
What a lot of noise it makes,
   Cover ears with hand.
Everywhere it goes.

Book: Wake Up Engines by Denise Mortensen

Song: This is the Way We Wash..
(use scarves to do the motions for each action)

This is the way we wash our face,
Wash our face, wash our face,
This is the way we wash our face,
So early in the morning.

This is the way we clean our hands,
Clean our hands, clean our hands,
This is the way we clean our hands,
So early in the morning.

This is the way we brush our teeth,
Brush our teeth, brush our teeth,
This is the way we brush our teeth
So early in the  morning.

This is the way we comb our hair,
Comb our hair, comb our hair,
This is the way we comb our hair,
So early in the morning.
Continue with...
...put on our pants
...put on our shirt
...toast our bread
...butter our bread
...eat our bread
...sweep the floor
....wash the floor
