Mother's Day!
A storytime devoted to mommies on their special day!
Books:
Clifford's Happy Mother's Day by Norman Bridwell
The Night Before Mother's Day by Natasha Wing
We had a trainee with us today so we only ran through two books. The kids were getting a bit restless so we sang and sang and sang!
Songs:
Opening Song: Where is Thumbkin? - Kimbo
Song 2: Skinny-Marinky-Dinky-Dink - 100 Singalong Songs
Song 3: Shake My Sillies Out - Raffi
Song 4: Dance Your Fingers Up/Clap Along With Me - Wee Sing for Baby
Song 5: If You're Happy and You Know It - Kimbo
Song 6: Wheels on the Bus - 100 Singalong Songs
Felt/Magnet Board:
Today we did a manget board version of MOMMY which is a Mother's Day version of BINGO! The idea for this came from Storytime ABC's
Yes, I did intend to color the flowers bright happy springy colors, but I completely forgot! Anyway - the song goes just like "Bingo" but with a twist:
I have a very special friend
And Mommy is her name-o
M-O-M-M-Y
And so on... Now in Bingo you substitute a CLAP for one letter at a time. On the other side of these flowers, I printed clipart of mommy faces:
Until you get to...
I put magnet on both side of the paper, but it looks like only one set actually held up - the mommy faces did not stick to the magnet board. Now at this point, Storytime ABC's have a second little poem:
Five Pretty Mommies
Five pretty Mommies I one knew
Cute ones, busy ones, happy ones, too
But the one in the middle, pretty as can be
(I've also seen - "that belongs to me")
I love her and she loves me!
Down to the grocery store we did go,
Wibble Wobble, Wibble Wobble, to and fro.
But the one in the middle, as pretty as can be,
I love her and she loves me!
Craft:
Today, we did a simple Mother's Day card we found at Making Learning Fun. I was able to print it with the cover picture on the front and so that the inscription ("Happy Mother's Day! Love,______) came out on the inside.
