Mommy & Me Storytime
February 4, 2008
Dinosaurs! Today at Mommy & Me we read and sang about dinosaurs. We started with the book Dinosaur Dinosaur by Kevin Lewis and heard all about the busy day in the life of a dinosaur. We also read How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night? by Jane Yolen and learned that they give a big hug and a kiss when they say good night, and don’t give mommy and daddy a hard time. Our flannelboard was about five enormous dinosaurs and we counted down until there were none left. We read the book Dinosaur Roar! by Paul Strickland and learned about all kinds of dinosaurs, including ones that are sweet, grumpy, spiky, or lumpy. We finished our storytime marching with our sponge dinosaurs to Laurie Berkner’s song “We Are the Dinosaurs”. It was a “roaring” good time!
NEWS TO KNOW! The library has a special collection called “Storytime in a Bag”. These ‘do-it-yourself’ kits contain all you need to conduct a successful storytime. Selected by library staff, each kit contains a book, a puppet, a music CD, fingerplays, and a craft activity all related to the story. In addition, each bag contains instructions on how to present a storytime and suggestions for further reading. Parents, teachers, and caregivers will want to pick one up at the library soon and hold a storytime for their own kids, their class, or the kids in their neighborhood, and see just how much fun it can be! For more information or to reserve your kit today, please call (949)830-7100 ext 4010.
Early Literacy Tip of the Week
When reading to your toddler, follow along with your finger under the words as you read them. This helps your child learn the left to right movement of reading and helps them realize that the black marks on the page have meaning.
