Boo! It's Halloween!

I changed books the day before this storytime because I just wasn't satisfied with what I had pulled, and the books that I had requested weeks ago were not turned in in time for me to use them. Everything went well though, and the kids had the most fun with our last book. I'm now conducting preschool and toddler storytimes instead of family storytime and here is what we read today:

We sang the rhymes “Five Little Pumpkins,” “Monster, Monster,” “Flutter, Flutter Little Bat,” and “Pumpkin, Pumpkin” while dancing with scarves. I used the flannel boards Skeleton Dress Up and Halloween Farmer in the Dell. Storytime ended with a Halloween sensory tub and a toilet paper tube monster craft.

I Love My Library!

We're back from our after summer break and the kids are ready for storytime!

This week we read books about the library and reading. We used a flannel board named "Five Little Books in the Library" created by another librarian in our system. We sang the alphabet and talked about the library, librarians, library cards, and the parts of a book. We made a bear toilet paper roll craft to have our own "book bear."
