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:

In the book, Allie All Along, we explored emotions, a topic that can be difficult to discuss/understand.  Concepts that are not physical in nature (abstract concepts) provide a unique challenge and this book does a good job of showing how anger can erupt and then dissipate in steps.  The shedding of each layer/color of fur physically represented the abstract concept of anger.  The children asked great questions that could be further explored on a one-to-one basis, creating a great follow up activity to our storytime discussion.

Songs & Activities

Song
​
If You're Happy and You Know It!
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands,
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands,
If you're happy and you know it, and you really want to show it,
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.

If you're angry and you know it, stomp your feet,
(continue as above)
If you're scared and you know it, hug yourself,
If you're sad and you know it, it's OK,  (rub eyes like you are crying)
If you're happy and you know it, shout HURRAH!
Emotion Exploration - Drawing Activity
​
Draw a simple happy face, then change it to represent other emotions.  This is a good way to discuss how body language (nonverbal language) contributes to our understanding of a person's feelings/intentions.​

Salt Dough Fidget Play
Using a simple recipe of 2 parts flour, 1 part salt, 1 part water, and some Kool Aid powder, you can create a fun, textured, playdough, perfect to fidget with when emotions are running high. Provide buttons, jewels, etc. that your child can press into the dough for more exploratory options.  Please see other recipes below.

    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!
