October 1, 2014 Story Time - Monkeys


If you missed this weeks story time here is what we did:

*marks the books we read


Monkey Colors  by Darrin Lunde*
A Trip to the Zoo  by Karen Wallace
Two Little Monkeys  by Mem Fox*

For our craft we made paper bag monkeys. I used the pattern found here:

Extra activities:

We talked about the letters "Z" and "M" the sound they make and words that begin with "Z" and "M"

Five Little Monkeys
Five little monkeys swinging in a tree
teasing Mr. Crocodile, you can't catch me
along comes Mr. Crocodile....quiet as can be
and he snaps (clap hands) that monkey right out of that tree.
Repeat with four, three, two and one. After the last monkey, say no more monkeys swinging in the tree!

Five Little Monkeys
Five little monkeys jumping on the bed
one fell off and bumped his head
momma called the doctor and the doctor said
no more monkeys jumping on the bed!
Repeat with four, three, two, one little monkey, then....
no little monkeys jumping on the bed
none fell off and bumped his head
momma called the doctor and the doctor said
put those monkeys back in bed!
