Literacy Tip - TALK
Talking to a child will build their vocabulary and storytelling skills. Use unfamiliar words and explain their meaning. Early literacy tip for caregivers- Have a grownup narrate what they are doing to baby—for example—we are getting ready to go to the store, so we need to put your shoes and coat on, get Mommy’s purse and car keys, lock the door, etc.

Rhyme – Open and Shut Them
Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Give a little clap, clap, clap!
Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Lay them in your lap, lap lap.
Creep them crawl them , creep them crawl them
Right up to your chin, chin chin
Open up your little mouth
But do not let them in!
Rhyme – This Little Train
The little train ran up the track (run fingers up arm)
Toot, toot, toot (make train noises)
And then it came toot-tooting back (run fingers down arm)
Toot, toot, toot (make train noises)
Prop/Flannel - Little Bunny in a Hat
Little bunny in a hat
Sitting so still
Will it come out?
Yes it will!
It looks to the left
It looks to the right
It looks straight ahead
And pops out of sight.

Rhyme – I’m a Little Tea Pot
I’m a little teapot
Short and stout.
Here is my handle,
Here is my spout.
When I get all steamed up
Hear me shout:
Tip me over
And pour me out!
Song – Action Song by The Singing Walrus
Lift – Toast in the Toaster
Toast in the toaster
Getting very hot!
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Up you pop!
Bounce – Hop With Me
Hop, hop, hop along
Or bounce on someone’s knee
Higher and higher and higher and higher
Bunny-hop with me!

Goodbye Rhyme – See You Later Alligator
See you later, alligator (Wave goodbye)
In a while, crocodile

See you soon, big baboon
Out the door, dinosaur (March)
Take care, polar bear
Wave goodbye, butterfly (Wave goodbye)

How'd it go:
We had a good crew today and the outline went really well. Everyone seemed to have a good time. I did end up skipping some pages in our second book, but it is a really sweet one and calming to read before a nap and bedtime.
That's all for now!
