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:

Children benefit from developing phonological awareness, which is the ability to hear and play with the smaller sounds in words.  During storytime, there were several examples of this:  1) It was pointed out that the words "rub", "dub", "sub", and "bathtub" all have the same ending sound of "ub" and that this created a rhyme.  Several children then made up other words (nonsense words) with the same ending sound.  This is a great way to play with language! 2) During our songs/fingerplays, the children imitated clapping and slapping their knees to the rhythm of the words.  This is another way to build awareness around sounds in words.

Activity

Blow Bubbles 

Craft

Bubble Printing
Pour a small amount of bubble solution in a wide-mouthed container and add a drop of food coloring.  Stir the mixture and using a straw, blow out to create bubbles that rise above the rim of the cup.  Set a piece of cardstock or other thick paper on the bubbles, creating a bubbly design.  Add sea animals pictures to the scene, if desired. Print them from the internet, draw your own, or cut them from magazines.
