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:

To assist children in developing an appreciation and enjoyment of books, it is important to share a wide variety of books. If a child shows interest in a particular topic, try to find an age appropriate nonfiction book on the subject.  The book Who Likes the Rain? by Kaner, is a combination of fiction (story) and nonfiction (fact), and during the storytime reading of this book, we shared only a few pages of the factual material due to the length of the book and the need to keep things moving along.  At home, you could do the same, or you could explore the book in its entirety, depending on your child's attention span and interest.  It would also be fun to take a "field trip" outside after a rain storm to look for some of the things mentioned in the book, like worms!!

Songs & Activities:

Song
​Rain, Rain, Go Away!
(Adapted)
Rain, Rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the horses want to play! Neigh, Neigh!
(Substitute other animals and sounds)
Last Verse:
Rain, Rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the children want to play! Yay, Yay!

Science
Demonstrate how rain works.  Fill a jar or bowl with water to represent air. Spray shaving cream on top to represent clouds.  Mix blue food coloring into another (smaller) container of water to represent rain. Using a dropper, drop rain onto the clouds.  (Be sure to push the dropper into the shaving cream for best results.) The goal is to get the clouds heavy with the rain, resulting in rain below the cloud level.
