Red, White and Blue Storytime 9/11/18

Book read:
The little mouse, the red ripe strawberry and the big hungry bear by Audrey and Don Wood

If you're wearing red today (to the tune of "The Muffin Man", from Green Bean Teen Queen)
If you're wearing red today,
Red today, red today,
If you're wearing red today,
Stand up and say "Hooray!"
(repeat with other colors)

Way up high in the apple tree (modified from Literary Commentary)
Way up high in the apple tree, (lift arms)
10 little apples smiled at me!
I shook that tree as hard as I could, (shake back and forth)
Down came the apple, (wave hands towards ground)
Boy was it good! 

If you like the color (to the tune "If You're Happy and and You Know It")
If you like the color (name a color)
Clap your hands!
If you like it and you know it and you really want to show it,
If you like the color (name a color)
Clap your hands!
(repeat using different colors and actions. You can stomp feet, wiggle fingers, turn around, etc)

The Waves in the Sea (to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus", from AnnesLibraryLife)
The waves in the sea go up and down, (bend knees up and down)
Up and down, up and down,
The waves in the sea go up and down,
Up and down, up and down,
The waves in the sea go up and down,
All day long.

Additional verses:
The shark in the sea goes snap, snap, snap (clap hands)
The fish in the sea go swish, swish, swish, (swish hands back and forth)
The boats in the sea go toot, toot, toot, (pretend to honk horn)

Craft: We painted star print outs red and blue. 

Literacy tip of the week: Show your child the cover of a book and talk about the authors. This is a great way to help kids realize how the writing process works.
