Now that I am supervising a team of storytime providers, I have the super fun opportunity to sub a lot more storytimes as I fill in for sick days, vacations, and other times the schedule needs a little help. This is awesome because 1) [spoiler] I love storytime, and 2) for the last 6 years or so, I only presented baby storytimes. I have had to exercise my wiggly-toddler and big-kid storytime muscles again and it’s been very rewarding! <\/p>\n
Sometimes I know in advance I will be subbing, but sometimes I fill in at the last minute for sick days. I’ve started to put together a storytime kit every month that has everything I need for any age storytime, so I’m ready to go no matter what. <\/p>\n
Here’s my “kit” for this month! In order to not make a mile-long scrolly post, I’m going to split it up into two. This post will be the three (okay I have alternates so it’s more than three) plans, just listing the titles of books and songs and naming any activities. The second post<\/a> will have the words & longer descriptions of the activities. Both posts will link out to other blogs and sites that I gathered ideas from. <\/p>\n My three age groups are: Baby (0-24mo), Toddler (2-3yr), and Family (all ages, but usually planned for 3-5yr). You’ll see some overlap among all three plans! <\/p>\n BABY <\/p>\n Opening Song: Good Morning<\/strong> TODDLER (version 1, smaller group) <\/p>\n Opening Song: Good Morning<\/strong> TODDLER (version 2, larger group)<\/p>\n Opening Song: Good Morning<\/strong> FAMILY (version 1, larger group)<\/p>\n Opening Song: Good Morning<\/strong> FAMILY (version 2, smaller group)<\/p>\n Opening Song: Good Morning<\/strong> Resources: Now that I am supervising a team of storytime providers, I have the super fun opportunity to sub a lot more storytimes as I fill in for sick days, vacations, and other times the schedule needs a little help.
