2018 Spring Storytime- D & E

Letter D

This week we read books on dogs, donuts, and ducks.  Our flannel story was “Five Little Ducks.”  Our craft was a duck pond, where the duck can “swim” back and forth.  We used dot markers at our activity table to practice writing the letter D.

(I apologize for not having photos for this week. I was out sick and our Youth Assistant, Miss Michelle, was leading.)

Letter E

This week we read about elephants and the eensy-weensy spider.  Our flannel story was about five elephants in a bathtub, and oh boy, that sure was a full tub.  Since we’ve done an elephant craft in the past, we mixed it up a little this week and make hand-print eagles.  The kids worked with scissors which was a first experience for some of them.  At our activity table, we had some mystery eggs for the kids to shake.  A couple of them were easy to figure out, but several were hard for the kids to guess, but they were very creative in their guesses.

2018 Spring Storytime- B & C

Letter B

This week we read books on bears, buttons, and did a flannel activity with butterflies.  We finished up the story time with a craft, making picture frames decorated in buttons.  Our activity table included activities like bubbles and bird sorting.

Letter C

This week we read books on cows, caterpillars, and colors.  We made cow masks and had fun pretending to be cows.  Our activity for our activity table was to run cars through shaving cream, pretending it was snow.

2018 Spring Storytime- Letter A

Letter A

2018 Spring Storytime was amazing!  We focused on a different letter of the alphabet each week.  We worked our way A through J.  We also added two new elements to story time.  Every child got his or her own felt board to take home and received a new piece to add to it every week.  We also introduced an activity table that featured activities based on the letter of the week. During our first week, we talked about all things “A.”  We focused on stories featuring the alphabets, apples, and aliens.  Our craft was an alligator door hanger.
