October 30-November 1 Story Hours

This week, we talked about rhymes and sequence--if you have a favorite nursery rhyme, please share!

Literacy/Developmental Skill: Some nursery rhymes help children develop narrative skills.  Those skills will later help them understand what they read.  Giving children aids, like flanelboard pieces helps them to remember the sequence of a story and makes it easier for them to retell the story in the correct order.

Some of our nursery rhymes for this week:

Buckle My Shoe
One, Two, buckle my shoe
Three, four, shut the door
Five, six, pick up sticks
Seven, eight, lay them straight
Nine, ten, a big red hen!

This Little Piggie
This little piggie went to market
 This little piggie stayed home
This little piggie had roast beef
This little piggie had none
This little piggie cried, "Wee, wee, wee"
All the home

Jack be Nimble
Jack, be nimble
Jack, be quick
Jack jumped over the candlestick 
(For this one, I particularly like to change what we do--jumped fast, jumped slow, walked around, etc)

Here are our book picks for this week!

Row, Row, Row your Boat  One, Two, Buckle My Shoe  
       Row, Row, Row Your Boat          One, Two, Buckle My Shoe

We had some time to free play, as well as play with some spooky sensory bins full of "guts" and "eyeballs!"  Some of the kids dressed in costume to celebrate Halloween, and we passed out some treat bags for anyone interested.

In Preschool Story Hour, we also read a few more favorites!

After the Fall   Clip-clop
