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:

Encourage vocabulary development by taking a main word from the book you are sharing and exploring it further.  Before sharing the books this week, we talked about the word "snowman" and how it is made up of 2 smaller words - "snow" and "man."  The children discovered that the word defines the object as it is a "man" made out of "snow."  We then took it a step further and came up with different ending, like "woman" "dog" "baby", and "boy" to name a few. This simple activity, with no preparation needed, introduced compound words to an audience you might not think ready to learn about this concept.

Songs & Activities:

Song/Movement
The Snowman Pokey
(Sung to the tune of "The Hokey Pokey")
You put your twig arm in,
You put your twig arm out,
You put your twig arm in,
And you shake it all about.

You do the snowman pokey and you turn yourself around,
That's what it's all about. (clap to the beat)

Continue with other snowman parts:
top hat
carrot nose
buttons
bottom snowball
​cold self
Activity
Snowman Sensory Bags
Partially fill a Ziploc baggie with shaving cream and add 6 black buttons and a carrot nose (we used fun foam, but you can even use a mini carrot) Seal the bag on all 4 sides with packing tape.  Start by exploring the sense of touch, encouraging your child to squish the bag, then using a finger, "draw" on the bag, and once they are ready for a challenge, have your child try to move the buttons and carrot nose around to create a snowman!
Craft
Melting Snowmen
Cut three snowballs out of white cardstock (small, medium, and large)
Attach with brads
Add features like buttons, twig arms, top hat, nose, eyes, and a mouth using materials you have around your house. 
Your child can now "melt" his/her snowman by twisting the snowballs into the middle!
