Winter Blues Storytime 1/22/19 and 1/23/19

Book read: 
What's the matter Bunny Blue? by Nicola Smee

Other book suggestions: 
Baby Bear sees blue by Ashley Wolff
Have you seen my new blue socks? by Eve Bunting
Blue by Laura Vaccaro Seeger

If you like blue (to the tune of "Did you ever see a lassie?")
If you like blue, like blue, like blue,
If you like blue clap your hands!
If you like blue, like blue, like blue,
If you like blue jump up and down!
Other actions can include stomp your feet, spin all around, etc.

The Boat on the Waves (to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus")
The boat on the waves goes rock, rock, rock,
Rock, Rock, Rock. (stand and rock back and forth)
The boat on the waves goes rock, rock, rock,
All around the lake.

The wind in the sails goes swish, swish, swish,
Swish, Swish, Swish. (swing arms back and forth)
The wind in the sails goes swish, swish,
All around the lake.

The waves on the lake go up and down,
up and down, up and down, (alternate bending knees and standing up)
The waves on the lake go up an down,
All around the lake.

Blueberry Roll (from Canton Public Library)
Five little blueberries sitting in a bowl,
One fell down and it started to ROLL!
It rolled off the table and under my seat.
How many blueberries are there left to eat? 
Repeat and count down to zero

My blue sailboat by Laurie Berkner

One little fish (with scarves, from Jbrary)
One little fish,
Swimming in the water,
Swimming in the water,
Swimming in the water,
Bubble, bubble, bubble,
Pop, pop, pop!

Literacy tip of the week: Counting rhymes such as "Blueberry Roll" help prepare kids to understand sequences of events, such as those that occur in a story.
