Happy Days! I get to travel this week to see young parents and babies. Lots of singing and moving.
Preschool Storytime
Theme: Cats
Skill Tip:
Young children need to become aware of the sounds of words and use them repeatedly before they encounter written words. Wonderful word sounds can be found in books that tell cumulative stories where words must be repeated over and over each time a new object is added. You can read the story while children join in with the repeated words.

Book
Introduction/Modeling skill:
Roar of a Snore by Marsha Diane Arnold
Ask
questions and use what your child already knows to add to the discussion,
assisting the child in understanding and enjoying a book. For example, in our first story, everyone in the family is asleep except Jack. Jack hears a thunderous snore. Ask the kids the following questions before reading the story.
1. Did a noise ever wake you up when you were sleeping?2. Did you get your mom or dad to find out what the noise might be?
3. Were you ever scared because you did not know what was making a night noise? What did you think it was?
As you read through the story, encourage the group to repeat the phrase, "the snore still roared."

What Will Fat Cat Sit On? by Jan Thomas
Tie-in song, rhyme, fingerplay and/or
large group activity:
Sung to: "Sing a Song of Sixpence"I have a little kitten,
She's black and white and gray.
When I try to cuddle her,
She always wants to play,
So I drag a piece of yarn
Across the kitchen floor.
She thinks it is a little mouse
To chase right out the door.
OR
Sung to: "Bingo"
I know a cat with perky ears,
And kitty is her name-o.
K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y,
And Kitty is her name-o.
She makes a sound and it's "meow,"
And Kitty is her name-o.
K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y,
And Kitty is her name-o.
