American Indians and Thanksgiving

I always like to see what Debbie Reese has to say about resources about American Indians.  I want to share one of her recent blog posts as we are headed into Thanksgiving week: http://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2013/11/taylor-5th-grader-do-you-mean-all-those.html

My New Favorite Book

I really like the messages in this book, but probably not one to share in storytime ... a better one-on-one pick for parent and child.

Touch Program for Toddlers and Smell Program for Preschoolers

Program on the sense of touch for toddlers: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByZSJgcQD22tTkNMUlBqOEhWQTg/edit?usp=sharing

I forgot to try the idea of taping contact paper, sticky side up onto one table to make a sensory station.

Here is the letter Tt worksheet found by searching Google Images: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByZSJgcQD22tWmcxTVFZVXRlQmc/edit?usp=sharing

Here are textured "stickers" that toddlers can peel and stick to the Tt touch worksheet:

Program on the sense of smell for preschoolers:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByZSJgcQD22tSTdfVW1VTGNKYVk/edit?usp=sharing

The Human Body app allowed a child to drag something smelly to the nose.  If it was a food item, the child could see the mouth salivate.  I ended up doing this at the end of the program, since I was having technical difficulties during the program (with the new iOS).

The "smell" jars were small plastic, cylindrical containers from Big Lots.  I had wanted to mash banana in one, have a cinnamon stick in another, a green pepper in the third, and a slice of orange in the fourth.  I ended up putting small, solid perfume samples in them and covered with foil so one couldn't see what was inside.  I poked holes in the top of the foil.

More Buckeye Book Award Graphics

Below is information from the weekly listserv from Janet Ingraham Dwyer, who focuses on youth info in the State Library of Ohio:

Paper ballots are also available for you to download and distribute at your library. Pair them with a display of BCTBA nominated books, or use them in a program. When patrons return their filled-in ballots to you, please enter them at http://www.bcbookaward.info/. You can group all the votes for each book, so you don’t have to enter every ballot separately. Or just bundle all your ballots and send them to me via statewide delivery or US Mail, and I’ll enter them for you. Make sure you include your contact information! All BCTBA ballots must be entered online by Sunday, November 10, so if you are sending yours to me, send them by November 1 to be safe.

Here are the links to the paper ballots (PDF), which print 2 per page.

I have two displays with multiple copies of the K-2 and 3-5 nominees.  Then in October, I'll use the ballots to collect votes.  Those who vote get the I VOTED graphic printed on a sticker.  I'll send in each group's majority winner through the website: http://www.bcbookaward.info/

Appy Hour for Kids and Apps Folder Shared via Google

Baby Program Outline and Two New

Click on "Baby Programs, under 2 years" on the right to access two of my newest programs for babies.

I've definitely found an outline I am comfortable with:

1) More We Get Together opening song while sharing the book

2) Hello Friends to learn names and have babies tap their name on tamborine (Phono awareness!)

3) Rhyme -- I like the one where I can swap out the letters or numbers and show my big foam ones, or maybe a counting one with felt pieces or toys to count as well as fingers

4) Book with props, particularly stuffed animals or puppets than can touch or tickle the babies or move in ways that get their attention as we repeat the animal's name, or toys that make sound and enforce story

5) Rhyme -- bounce or tickle or one where different body parts are named and moved in different ways

6) Music CD with shakers or scarves or bubbles which invite moving and dancing

7) Happy and You Know It as closing rhyme

Summer Reading Visiting

After the success of today's story sharing of Tickle Tickle, Itch Twitch, I may want to adapt it for my Summer Reading, school auditorium visits! It would be awesome to project the Kindle book (via iPad Kindle app and proper cord/hook up) on a projector behind the acting. My other idea is to make poster board size props for kids to retell The Giant Turnip. More Dig Into Reading books: https://www.worldcat.org/profiles/MissHayleyMac/lists/3077013

Outreach Programs : Kindergarten Visits the Library

Here is a link to where I am uploading .PDFs of programs that are created for a specific group of kids: http://sprng.me/hmqho The one in this file so far is a Groundhog themed program designed for maximum participation of Kindergarten students who are visiting the library for "their first time." After a tour, we had a mini storytime where I reinforced fiction vs nonfiction books. We also made a groundhog puppet.

Gotta Move! Our Bodies

I'm excited to present this upcoming storytime! The ear stick puppets will be silly, and I'm working on becoming more conscious about putting a calm down/fine motor rhyme before the Sitting Story. Mag Board pieces -- sorry about google docs moving my labels to the wrong pages :( Ears to cut out, laminate, and tape to a stick! ALL IMAGES FROM MICROSOFT CLIPART.

At the moment, we are having a very mild winter in Ohio -- rain and grass vs. snow and snow ... and so,
to escape a seasonal themed-snafu, I'll be doing a program on Dinosaurs this month!  (There's also a Dinosaur exhibit going on in a neighboring county...)

Look for my program outline/handout to be posted next.
