November 6-8 Story Hours

This week in Wiggle Worms, we had a range of great books--from some classics, to some newer stories. You can place holds on any and all of them!

Thank you to all of our families that braved the cold to get to story time! For those of you who were unable to make it to story time, please feel free to check out our story time books and sing our story time songs!

If you didn't catch the video earlier this week, here is the new song that we learned in story time that we will be using for the rest of the month!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is an excellent choice to work on sequencing with your child.  Watch as the caterpillar eats one thing after another--and learn counting along the way!






Lionel in the Fall by Stephen Krensky was one of our choices for our puppet shows.  This story is wonderful to show how two friends can work together towards the same goal.  There is also a great countdown to leafy jump!









Grumpy Bird by Jeremy Tankard teaches us all a lesson about being grumpy and how friends can be the best medicine! Follow Grumpy Bird on his walk through the forest as his friends work tirelessly to walk by his side.








 Tickle Monster by Edouard Manceau is a fun monster book similar to Go Away, Big Green Monster! Only in this story, we must tickle the monster to make his body parts move in to a new picture that isn't quite so scary.  We tried this story with the flannel board, and it was so fun letting the kids guess what each part of the monster would become in our new picture!







Our Wiggle Worms got to make their own monsters by blowing paint and adding some finishing touches.  Check out their creations!

In Preschool Story Hour, we added one more book, and let the kids experiment with a couple of monster projects:

  We're Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen is another oldie, but goodie that teaches children sequences, but also adds some fun action! Swish through the grass, squish through the mud, all on your way to hunt a bear!

Our Preschool Monster Makers made our monsters disappear using water, markers, and coffee filters!

Check out the resource we used:

We had a little extra time, so we decided to make some paper bag monsters as well!
