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!

1000 BOOKS BEFORE KINDERGARTEN!

The single most important thing you can do to prepare your children to read is to read to them every day. Research proves that children need to hear 1000 books before they begin to learn to read independently. Reading to children will increase their vocabulary and their listening and narrative skills.
​Reading with children will also help to instill in them self-awareness, confidence and an understanding of their place in the world.

Literacy Tip:

Repeating songs and stories allows children to recall and repeat, which helps develop listening, speaking, and social communication. The Hello and Goodbye Songs are listed in the column to the right and each week, the books, songs and activities are posted with the intention of allowing you to repeat and enhance the things we do in storytime.

Songs & Activities:

Action Rhyme
Hats & Earmuffs
Hats & earmuffs go on my head,
Pajamas are what I wear to bed.
Pants & shorts around my hips,
Shirt is buttoned, jacket zipped.
Check the weather for the day,
​Go outside ready to play!
Action Rhyme
This is the Suitcase that Jack Packed
(Adapted by Erin Lassiter for KidsSoup.com)
Based on the Mother Goose Rhyme "This is the House That Jack Built")
(Search for images on the Internet to match the clothing in the rhyme or use an actual suitcase and clothes)

This is the suitcase that Jack packed.

This is the jacket, folded and flat,
That lay in the suitcase that Jack packed.

These are the pants, bent at the knee,
That lay on the jacket, folded and flat,
That lay in the suitcase that Jack packed.

These are the shirts, one, two, and three,
That lay on the pants, bent at the knee,
That lay on the jacket, folded and flat,
That lay in the suitcase that Jack packed.

These are the socks, all rolled up like a ball,
That lay on the shirts, one, two, and three,
That lay on the pants, bent at the knee,
That lay on the jacket, folded and flat,
That lay in the suitcase that Jack packed.

This is the hat, all crumpled and small,
That lay on the socks, all rolled up like a ball,

That lay on the shirts, one, two, and three,
That lay on the pants, bent at the knee,
That lay on the jacket, folded and flat,
That lay in the suitcase that Jack packed.
Craft
Decorate a shirt, pants, shorts, and/or skirt shape with markers, stickers, pom poms, yarn, buttons, etc. Hang with clothespins on a piece of yarn or twine, like a clothesline.

    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!
