Books read:
My Book Box by Will Hillenbrand
What to do with a box? by Jane Yolen 

Birthday Months (from Sunflower Storytime)
If you're birthday is in January, turn around.
If you're birthday is in February, touch the ground.
If you're birthday is in March, march along.
If you're birthday is in April, sing a song.
If you're birthday is in May wiggle your nose.
If you're birthday is in June, shake your toes.
If you're birthday is in July, jump up high.
If you're birthday is in August, reach the sky.
If you're birthday is in September, tap your shoe.
If you're birthday is in October, just say "Boo!"
If you're birthday is in November, tickle your ears.
If you're birthday is in December, give a cheer!     
 
Five Days Old by Laurie Berkner

I Like To Be A Jumping Jack (from Perry Public Library)
I like to be a jumping jack,
And jump out from a box.
I like to be a rocking horse,
And rock, and rock and rock.
I like to be a spinning top,
And spring around and round.
I like to be a rubber ball,
And bounce right to the ground.

Pizza Man, Pizza Man (from Storytime Katie)
Pizza man, pizza man, turn around.
Pizza man, pizza man, touch the ground.
Pizza man, pizza man, smell a rose.
Pizza man, pizza man, touch your toes.
Pizza man, pizza man, touch the sky.
Pizza man, pizza man, wave goodbye.
Pizza man, pizza man, turn around.
Pizza man, pizza man, sit back down.

Pizza Man (from Storytime Katie)
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, pizza man (clap hands)
Make me a pizza as fast as you can.
Roll it (roll hands)
Toss it (toss scarf in the air)
Sprinkle it with cheese (sprinkling motions)
Put it in the oven (pushing motion)
And bake it fast please!

Jack in the box (from Jbrary)
Jack in the box,
Sits so still,
Will he come out?
Yes he will!

Bob's Hammer (done as a flannelboard with different colored toolboxes)
Bob needs his hammer lots and lots, is it under the (insert color) toolbox?

Craft: We made a "box collage" out of cut out squares and rectangles.

Literacy tip of the week: Imaginative play, such as playing with boxes, helps develop children's storytelling skills.
