oh, and did i mention that they put that on in response to me putting on SAW II? (no snarky comments, i've hated them since long before that.) i proceeded to walk around by myself until they got tired of that. Is it really that unfathomable for someone to hate them?Īnother chap insisted on playing one of their cd's on repeat through most of an evening of tripping. he'd normally say something along the lines of 'why don't you like this? what is wrong with you?' One fellow i shared an office with would insist on turning up his speakers EACH AND EVERY TIME a tmbg song came on, which was quite often. whenever a fan of theirs finds out that i don't like them, the fan thinks that i obviously don't understand something and proceeds to do their best to turn me into a fan. (one finger is Jack, the other is Jill)įly away Jack! Fly away Jill! ('fly' Jack behind your back, 'fly' Jill behind your back)Ĭome back Jack! Come back Jill! (bring back Jack, and then Jill)Īs with Preschool Storytime, Laurie Berkner is a big hit, especially 'We are the Dinosaurs.' While we don't do it EVERY time, we do it often enough to include it as a 'standard.I really, really, really, REALLY hate tmbg, but i think i may hate rabid tmbg fans even more. This is slow, slow, slow (circle fists slowly) This is fast, fast, fast (circle fists fast)

This is tall, tall, tall (reach one hand high above head) This is short, short, short (hold hand with palms facing together) This is small, small, small (cup hands together) This is big, big, big (hold arms out to side)

Wiggle fingers!!! Up, down, side, other side, any other directions that sound fun! Hands Go Up (tune of 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star') Songs and finger plays appear in roughly this order, with books and occasionally other songs in between as well! I had the honor of meeting Dan Santat over the summer, and he really is a cool dude!īabies and toddlers thrive on repetition, so we find a lot more standard elements in these storytimes. It wasn't the easiest storytime read-aloud, but the artwork is incredible and it would probably work really well in a one on one or small group situation.

I have long been a fan of Dan Santat's picture books (the Oh No series and more), and this is a wonderful and innovative book about an imaginary friend waiting to be imagined. The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend - Dan Santat This is the latest installment in the Pete franchise!ģ. Just keep walking along, singing your song! I love Pete the Cat!

His books are fun to read and sing (look up the songs on his website!), and they all have great messages like not letting bad things get you down. Pete the Cat and the New Guy - James Dean It was SO much fun as a storytime read aloud, and would be awesome as a one on one book as well - just as long as the reader isn't afraid to be silly -)Ģ. This is probably by far my favorite book from this year! I even bought my own copy so I could have it available WHENEVER I get the urge to read it in storytime! Here are a couple of my favorites from 2014:ġ. Though some are new to even me, many of his picks have been read in my storytimes. Brian - a Children's Librarian in Illinois - has written a great blog post highlighting his 30 favorite picture books of the year! Looking to get some great books for your kids for Christmas, or other gift giving celebration? Each week will feature one of the following props: scarves, bean bags, and egg shakers, each having their own special playlist of songs. Since repetition is an important component of early literacy, there will be a few core songs you will hear every week at Dance Party. Some of the best resources I found were the Bibliobop blog post on Storytiming, BabyDance post on Fat Girl Reading, and both Silly Songs Dance Party and Family Dance Party on Jbrary. I will tell you, I did not just choose these songs at random, but read a number of blogs and listened to a TON of music by various children's musicians and bands. Music and movement storytimes are relatively new in the library/storytime world, but they are a SUPER fun way to develop early literacy skills with your child! The dancing, singing, playing instruments, and following along to the songs in this kind of storytime help children with their rhythm, verbal memory, listening and instruction following skills, vocabulary, phonological and phonemic awareness, and family involvement, just to name a few! Dance Party is a a program I started at the Bonita Library that quickly became an overwhelming success! I am very excited to bring it to the El Cajon Library on Friday mornings at 10:30am!
