November 13-15 Story Hours

This week we learned about shapes, we marched like dinosaurs, we zoomed to the moon, and we witnessed stunts performed by cows and clams!

Feel free to place a hold on any of the great books we discussed this week!

Mouse Shapes by Ellen Stoll Walsh tells the story of three mice who, as usual, are afraid of cats! Watch as they use different shapes and colors to hid from their feline foe.










Mooncraft by Frank Asch was our puppet show for the week.  In this story a bear desperately wants a bite out of the moon and builds a rocketship to make his dream come true!








Shape by Shape by Suse MacDonald is a fun guessing book using shapes and colors.










Crash, Splash, Moo is a brand new book featuring a clam, a monkey, and a cow doing different stunts and it's up to you to figure out if they will crash, splash, or moo!










We tried out a new game this week--let Miss Kelsey know what you thought about it! If you've ever played Hullabaloo by Cranium, we did the homemade version.  This is a simple game to make at home! All you  need is colored paper, scissors, and markers!

Cut out large shapes of your choice, and on each shape, draw a food, an animal, or a musical instrument (or choose your own topics!).  Spread your shapes on the ground, and give your little ones instructions such as "hop to a shape with food on it" or "tiptoe to a triangle." Watch as your kids learn to recognize shapes, colors, and more!

Unfortunately, Preschool Story Hour was canceled this week due to the snow closure of Bremen Public Schools.  This is a good reminder for all caregivers--if Bremen schools are ever on a delay or closed, story hour for the day will be canceled as well! Stay inside and stay warm and safe!

Lastly, remember next week is Thanksgiving and there will be NO story hour for the week.  We will see you back at the end of the month!
