November 10, 2015 Story Time - Squirrels


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

*marks the books we read

















Squirrels and Their Nests  by Martha E. H. Rustad*
The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin  by Beatrix Potter
I See a Squirrel  by Alex Appleby*
One Wide Sky A Bedtime Lullaby  by Deborah Wiles
The Very Best Bed  by Rebekah Raye*
Earl the Squirrel  by Don Freeman
Nuts to You!  by Lois Ehlert*

For our craft we colored a picture of a squirrel, pasted on the letter "S" for it's tail and taped it to a craft stick to make a puppet.

Extra activities

Help your child think of words that start with the letter "S"

Help your child think of words that rhyme with the foods that squirrels eat; "nuts", "seeds", etc

Five Little Squirrels Fingerplay
Five little squirrels sitting by the door,
One ran away and then there were four.
Four little squirrels climbing up a tree,
One ran away and then there were three.
Three little squirrels with coats so new.
One ran away and then there were two.
Two little squirrels warming in the sun,
One ran away leaving only one.
One little squirrel wasn't having any fun,
He ran away and then there were none.
