I am going to work at another branch for 4 months so I will be doing baby storytime for the next 4 months
This will be a big change but I am looking forward to the challenge.
Here is what I did for St. Patrick's Day
MOVEMENT: Welcome Song - Open Shut them
MOVEMENT: “Can’t Wait to Celebrate” from Jim Gill’s Irrational Anthem by Jim Gill
BOOK:Good Luck Bear by Greg Foley
THEMED MOVEMENT:
“Dance, Dance Leprechaun Dance”
(to tune of “Skip to My Lou”)
Dance, dance, leprechaun dance.
Dance, dance, leprechaun dance.
Dance, dance, leprechaun dance,
Do a dance for me.
Bow…
Clap…
Jump…
Sit for our next story.

How it went
The kids loved most everything except Green by Vaccaro. I had quite a few toddlers and a couple of 4-5s and one baby. It was hard to keep the older ones interested but they seemed to have fun with the craft especially.
