STORY TIME


Story Time Mission

Our mission is to promote early literacy, pre-reading, and pre-school readiness for children of all ages.We encourage grown ups to sit with their children, participating in the activities as able. Storytime is lots of fun and children actively learn by watching modeled behavior. So, jump in and have fun with us!

Literacy Tip:

​Picture books have so much to offer!  On the first reading, the basic story is revealed.  On subsequent readings, other layers can be discovered.  In the book, On the Beach, the words tell a story, but the pictures tell an underlying story, helping children to see that careful observation can lead to predictions for the next page.  They race to see if they can find the clue before it is revealed.  This engagement is exactly what many picture books offer. Funny picture books often contain humor that is meant to entertain the adult while reading. Try paying attention to the extra layers contained in picture books – you just might find yourself hooked on picture books!!

Five Little Sand Castles
(Poem by Lisa Markle Sparkles - Clipart and preschool fun)

Five little sand castles
Sitting by the shore
Whoosh! Goes a wave
And then there were four

Four little sand castles
Sitting by the sea
Splash! Goes a wave
And then there were three

Three little sand castles
By the ocean blue
Crash! Goes a wave
And then there were two

Two little sand castles
Sitting in the sun
Whoosh! Goes a wave
And then there was one

One little sand castle
Had lots of fun
Shhhh... Goes a wave
And then there were none
craft

Starfish

The children were given a cutout shape of a starfish with spaces to glue Cheerios. We finished the project with some Cheerios to eat, along with Goldfish crackers.

    Hello Song
    Hello neighbor, how are you today?
    It's going to be a beautiful day!
    So clap your hands,
    and stomp your feet, 
    jump up and down,
    and have a seat!
    Goodbye Song
    This is how we say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye,
    This is how we say goodbye ... at storytime!
    We give our friends a great big wave, great big wave, great big wave, 
    We give our friends a great big wave, when we say goodbye!
