What Happened in Preschool Storytimes the week of September 17?

What happened in storytime for the week of September 17?

Outside, the temperature is getting cooler. It's "good football weather" as I like to say, meaning here in Ohio we're getting out cozy sweatshirts, making bonfires, enjoying hayrides and picking out pumpkins, and watching football--especially here in Massillon!

This week in Storytime at MPL, we celebrated the beginning of autumn with the theme: "Fall Stories." Autumn continues to offer a special opportunity to read some very simple stories that emphasize the colors, sounds, and smells of the season. We read stories about fall leaves, apple picking, and scarecrows.

This week we read Leaves by David Ezra Stein, Sneeze Big Bear, Sneeze! by Maureen Wright, An Apple Pie for Dinner by Susan VanHecke, and The Little Scarecrow Boy by Margaret Wise Brown.

How about a fingerplay about apples?
Way up high in the apple tree (point up),
Two red apples smiled at me (smile).
So I shook that tree as hard as I could (shake).
Down came the apples,
And hmmm....were they good! (rub tummy)



Looking forward to seeing you all next week at storytime! Enjoy the fall season!
