Snow Storytime

We had a huge snow storm last Wednesday...yet by today the snow had all melted.  Oh, well!

Books

Music and Movement

Snowy Day
The day is snowy and the wind is bold.
Dress up wormly, you mustn't get cold!
Put on your coat and zip it up tight,
Put on your left boot, put on your right.
Put on your scarf and put on your hat,
Put on your mittens and clap-clap-calp!
Go outside and play, play, play.

{make a snowball and throw it, make a snowman...}

Come in again, and then we'll say--
Take off your coat that was zipped up tight,
Take off your left boot, take off your right.
Take off your scarf, take off your hat,
Take off your mittens, and then take a nap!

Jingle Bells
Verse--bells slow and quiet
Chorus--bells fast and loud

Flannel Board

One Little Snowflake
One little snowflake with nothing to do
Along came another and then there were two.

Two little snowflakes flying past me
Along came another and then there were three.

Three little snowflakes looking for some more
Along came another and then there were four.

Four little snowflakes dancing a jive
Along came another and then there were five.

Five little snowflakes having so much fun
Out came the sun and then there were none!

Open Ended Art

White chalk on dark colored paper
(some of the ones that were left for our art wall)

I subbed in last minute at another library...

Instead of Froggy Gets Dressed I read:

And we did extra Jingles Bells and no 3rd story
