My First Story Time At The Library

Posting late 3rd september 2010

Actually this should have been my first post as we had first gone to the library to start our September activities. The library has a story time every Friday from 11 to 11:30 for toddlers. This was our first week after I learned my driving. He enjoyed the story time but dint interact much with the kids at the library( I understand its his first time that he has been out in a group where he does not know any one ).

They read 2 books and sang a few songs that we sing at home but he dint do any of it there ( hope he does them next time ) here are the

Five Little Monkeys

Actions:

Five little monkeys -- with one hand hold up the number of fingers to match the verse. 

jumping on the bed -- bounce your fingers (monkeys) up and down on your other hand (the bed)

One fell off -- hold up one finger

and bumped his head -- hold head with both hands and rock head back and forth

Mama called the Doctor and the doctor said -- dial the phone with one finger

No more monkeys jumping on the bed -- shake index finger ("no no")

Words:

Five little monkeys jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head.
Mama called the Doctor and the Doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
Four little monkeys jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped her head.
Papa called the Doctor and the Doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

Three little monkeys jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head.
Mama called the Doctor and the Doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

Two little monkeys jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped her head.
Papa called the Doctor and the Doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

One little monkey jumping on the bed,
He fell off and bumped his head.
Mama called the Doctor and the Doctor said,
"Put those monkeys straight to bed!"

And

Row, row, row your boat,

Gently down the stream.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,

Life is but a dream.

Then was our favorite coloring time .. They gave some coloring pages that we could color he enjoyed doing that and showing it off to all the kids and their parents
