Y and Z are for...

The last storytime of the school year!  It's hard to believe we made it through the whole alphabet!

Books

In My New Yellow Shirt by Eileen Spinelli; illustrated by Hideko Takahashi


Zip, Whiz, Zoom! by Stephanie Calmenson; illustrated by Dorothy Stott


Flannel Board/Songs/Rhymes

Five yaks yawned a lot--
Time for bed believe it or not.
One closed his eyes and slipped into bed
Good night, good night is what he said.

5 yaks all in bed
They did just what their mother said
They always try hard to obey. 
When they get up they all yell yea!
  

Bumblebees Buzz
(tune: 3 Blind Mice)
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
Bumblebees buzz.
Buzz over here.
Buzz over there.
They buzz up high and they buzz down low.
Around and around and around they go.
They buzz-buzz fast, and they buzz-buzz slow.
Oh, bumblebees buzz!

I cut out clipart bees for the kids to hold and "fly" around during the song.  This helps to engage the children as they actively participate.

There was an old woman
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
She had so many children she didn't know what to
She gave them all broth, without any bread
And kissed them all soundly and put them to bed.
