Rhythm and Rhyme - 3 Year Olds

This plan is for our Ready, Set, Read! program for 3 year olds. It's a registered storytime that the children attend independently.

Opening Activity:
Little Mouse flannel board game with musical notes hiding under the houses

Opening Song:
"These Are My Glasses" by Laurie Berkner from Whaddaya Think of That

Book:
Down by the Station by Jennifer Riggs Vetter

Scarf Song:
"Rhythm in the Scarves" by Johnette Downing from Second Line Scarf Activity Songs

Book:
Pete the Cat: The Wheels on the Bus by James Dean

Closing Rhyme:
Reach for the Sky
Clap your hands, touch your toes,
Turn around and put a finger on your nose
Flap your arms, jump up high
Wiggle your fingers and reach for the sky!



What I Didn't Have Time For:

• My Jazz It Up Moment this week was going to me an Ants Go Marching flannel I made, but we spent so much time chatting in the beginning and getting to know one another (this was our first week) that I just ran out of time.
• A variety of books:
• Boom Chicka Rock by John Archambault
• Mole Music by David McPhail
• Be Quiet, Mike! by Leslie Patricelli
