#3 ABC's

Opening Song: Welcome, Welcome, Everyone!

Books:
The ABCs of Art (Baby Einstein) Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Eating the Alphabet
The ABC’s of ART by
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr.
Eating the Alphabet by Lois Ehlert

Action Song: B-I- N-G-O

Magnet Board: Animal Magnets (what letter does the name of the animal start with)

Books:
Bad Kitty Dr. Seuss's ABC (Beginner Books B-30)
Bad Kitty
Dr. Suess’s ABC

Activity: Musical Alphabet (to the song "Marching Around the Alphabet")
Letters were placed in a circle and the kids marched around them util I hit pause.  The kids would then identify the letter they landed by.  I had them march around instead of on top of the letters because I laminated them and I didn't want anyone to slip and fall.

What I Learned:

My storytimes are still a work in progress and I am learning a ton each time I do one.  I didn't realize beforehand that ABC books can be way too long to use in a storytime setting.  Next time I would use shorter books or fewer books.  The kids loved musical alphabet, but they didn’t know BINGO at all, which really surprised me! I noticed that the kids like to sit on the floor and hold something during the stories so we will be ditching the chairs next time.
