I cut card stock into quarters and put a magnet on the back. As each child came in they got help writing their names on a tag. Every time they come to storytime they will find their name and put it on the board.
Opening Song: We Clap and Sing Hello!
Discussion: Why do we come to story time? Letter of the week - A. Each child shared what they brought that started with that letter. We also pointed out all of the a's in everyone's name tag.
Activity: What Color are You Wearing? I picked a color out of a basket and then each child got to stand up of they were wearing that color.
Book:
My Lift-the-Flap Book of Colors - Priddy Priddy Books
Activity: Color Game (from The Mailbox magazine April/May 1997)
Magnet Board: What is missing? (with ice cream cones)
Book:
Press Here - Tullet
Activity: Pattern blocks with pattern block sheets from Prekinders.com, and pom-pom color sorting
Notes: Great group today! Need to print out more pattern block cards and make two tubes of each color for the pom pom sorting for this big of a group. I intended for the older kids to do the pattern blocks while the littler ones did the pom pom sorting, but they all loved both activities and the older ones loved helping the younger ones sort their pom poms. The book “Press Here” was great, but I wouldn’t use the flap book again. This was the first week of doing the Letter of the Week. Each week the kids will bring something from home that starts with our letter. In the coming weeks I will coordinate the letter of the week with the theme.
