Mommy & Me Storytime
February 25, 2008

Today’s Mommy & Me Storytime was all about fish. Our friend, Mr. Lion, brought three great books about fish for us to share and surprised us with a bright red fish puppet! We started by reading Ten Little Fish, counting down as each little fish leaves. We followed that with our Five Little Fishies fingerplay and flannelboard. Our next book was What Do You Say? We made lots of animal sounds as we answered the title question and found out just what to say to a fish. We sang and acted out the song “I’m a Little Fishy” to the tune “I’m a Little Teapot”, pretending we were fish swimming around the sea. The last book we shared was Hooray for Fish! We met all of Little Fish’s fishy friends and learned which one he loves most of all. We ended our time together pretending our scarves were fish and swimming them through the air to the song “Under the Sea”. By the end, we were all cheering “hooray for fish”!

DON’T FORGET!
Our next session of storytimes will begin in April. Preschool Storytime will start up again on Tuesday, April 1. PajamaRama and Mommy & Me Storytimes will start Monday, April 7.
