If you missed this weeks story time here is what we did:
(*marks the books we read)
Ned's New Home by Kevin Tseng*
Wiggle and Waggle by Caroline Arnold
Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni
Worms for Lunch? by Leonid Gore*
Worms are Gross! by Leigh Rockwood
Diary of a Worm by Doreen Cronin
Yucky Worms by Vivian French*
For our craft we colored a paper worm and taped it to a craft stick to make a worm puppet
Extra activities:
We talked about the letter "W"; The sound it makes and words that begin with "W"
Ten Little Worms
(sung to "Ten Little Indians")
One little, two little, three little worms,
Four little, five little, six little worms,
Seven little, eight little, nine little worms
Ten little worms digging in the dirt
Wiggly Worms
(Give each child a small piece of yarn for their worm then acted out the following rhyme)
Wiggle your worm up, then wiggle them down
Wiggle your worms around and around
Wiggle them high, wiggle them low
Wiggle them fast, wiggle them slow
Wiggle them over the tops of your toes
Wiggle them under the tip of your nose
Wiggle them up your arm to the top
Wiggle them down to your fingers and stop
Wiggle your worm across the top of your head
Then put your worm back in his own little bed
Wiggles
(do appropriate actions as you say the rhyme)
A wiggle wiggle here
A wiggle wiggle there
Wiggle your hands up in the air
Wiggle your shoulders
Wiggle your hips
Wiggle your knees
And move your lips
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
And wiggle some more...
And now let's sit down on the floor
