Baby Storytime 7/9/15

Book read: Where is my Mommy? by Julie Downing

I'm a little cuckoo clock (adapted from Born to Read)
Tick tock, tick tock, (rock back and forth)
I'm a little cuckoo clock.
Tick tock, tick tock,
It's one o'clock! (jump once)

Tick tock, tick tock,
I'm a little cuckoo clock.
Tick tock, tick tock,
It's two o'clock! (jump twice)

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

Come along and march with me (from Storytime Underground)
Come and march along with me,
Along with me.
Come and march along with me,
So early in the morning.
(other actions can include spinning, hopping, bouncing, flying, etc)

Dump Truck (adapted from ALSC listserv)
Dump truck, dump truck (rock back and forth)
Bumping down the road.
Spilling gravel as we travel (rock back and forth)
with our heavy load.

Dump truck, dump truck (bouncing)
DUMP! (fall down)

Itsy Bitsy Spider

Wheels on the Bus

If you're happy and you know it (with parachute, from Laughter and Literacy
If you're happy and you know it, lift it high!
If you're happy and you know it, shake it fast!
If you're happy and you know it, shake it slow!
If you're happy and you know it drop it low!

The chute is on my head (to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell", from Laughter and Literacy)
The chute is on my head, the chute is on my head!
Hi ho the dairy-o, the chute is on my head!
The chute goes up and down, the chute goes up and down!
Hi ho the dairy-o, the chute goes up and down!
The chute goes fast and slow, the chute goes fast and slow!
Hi ho the dairy-o, the chute goes fast and slow!
The chute is on my head, the chute is on my head!
Hi ho the dairy-o the chute is on my head!

Literacy tip of the week: Ask your baby simple questions as you read to them, even if they can't respond. The more you engage with your baby in this manner the more words they will learn to understand.
