Today in storytime, we talked about Dinosaurs! Rooooooar!
First, I had the kids shake their sillies out, because I could just feel that they were feeling verrrrry silly today. Book 1: Edwina: The Dinosaur Who Didn't Know She Was Extinct by Mo Willems Activity 1: Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes (always a crowd pleaser) Flannel Board: 10 Little Dinosaurs from Storytime Katie One little, two little, three little dinos Four little, five little, six little dinos Seven little, eight little, nine little dinos Ten little dinos for me! You can find the Dinosaur Shapes at Mel's Desk! |
Book 2: Dinosaur Vs. Bedtime by Bob Shea
Then we danced and shook to "Shake Your Body Down" by the Laurie Berkner Band.

Flannel Board: 5 Dinosaurs from The Storytime Lady (with the same dinosaur pieces as above).
Five dinosaurs went out to play
Over the hills and far away
Mama dinosaur said “roar, roar, roar”
But four dinosaurs came running to the door
Continue until no dinosaurs are left on the board.
Then sing…
No dinosaurs went out to play
Over the hills and far away
Mama dinosaur said “roar, roar, roar”
And…ALL the dinosaurs came running to the door!

Overall:
So, I meant to read 5 books today, but only got through 4 because the kids were crazy! They really seemed to enjoy Dinosaur vs. Bedtime by Bob Shea the best! They liked guessing if dinosaur would beat spaghetti, brushing his teeth, a group of talking adults, etc. They especially loved that I kept asking them to ROOOOOOAR! Also, A+ would definitely use "Shake Your Body Down" by the Laurie Berkner Band again. The kids LOVED dancing to it!
Also, here's a sweaty selfie I took directly after storytime. I may not look it, but I was sweating buckets after jumping around and dancing so much today!
Cheers!
