Caregivers, thanks for dealing with the (organized) chaos today! There were a lot of things to hand out and collect during storytime today and lots of exciting activities.
Kids took a Monsters Love Colors worksheet on the way in.
Books:
Plumply Dumply Pumpkin by Mary Serfozo. Peter finds the perfect pumpkin so he and his dad can make a jack -o-lantern.
Before reading the book, I handed out a bag of crayons to each child with the instructions to wait...
As I read the book, the children colored their monsters accordingly:
We then sounded out and spelled the word: Pumpkin
The kids all know their colors - this was more of a move-around, pat-your-knees, rhythm activity before setting in for Monsters Love Colors
Meet the Star Monster (not to be confused with The Alphabet Monster from last week) ;-)
Oh, I love this song! We always watch the YouTube Video first. Watch "The Mice Go Marching" here
Then each child gets a mouse (from IKEA) to act out the song while I play it again without the video:
I love when the monster sneezes and the mice go flying!! I took this picture really fast and apparently missed the 60 mice that were in the air. How often do you get to throw mice around the library?
Love the Mice Go Marching song! Thanks for sharing.
