The Importance of Words
"Mama, my throat hurts," my two-year old niece said.
And my sister knew it was time to rush to the emergency room.
It turns out that an allergy (to cashews? we'll find out after tests...)
has the ability to make this little girl stop breathing...
Anaphylactic shock
How does Auntie Tat deal with the situation?
Biblio-therapy ... This book is actually simple and clear enough to work for the littlest ones:
All this to say ... how important it is for little ones to be able to communicate ... how important to share words with little ones...

Gotta Move: Everybody's Jumping (Vocabulary)
Again, I put an activity on the back of the handout. It is a "finish the drawing" activity that has a picture of a dog, and the prompt says, "What is Andy doing? Draw his surroundings."
The "Find the Letter" ball is one I picked up at Dollar General. It has alphabet letters and first sound icons (e.g. the letter D is pictured with a dog) printed all over the surface, in no particular order.
As always, if the embedded image does not load, you can find the pdf under "Youth Services Programs and Resources" --> "Music, Movement, and Early Literacy Programs" at http://librarieslearnlead.blogspot.com/ .
