Lap Sit Week of 1/25

I feel like we're starting to hit a groove in our third week of storytimes this season. Here's what we were up to this week:

If You're Ready For a Story

If you're ready for a story clap your hands (clap clap)

If you're ready for a story clap your hands (clap clap)

If you're ready for a story, if you're ready for a story

If you're ready for a story clap your hands (clap clap)

If you're ready for a story stomp your feet (stomp stomp)

If you're ready for a story stomp your feet (stomp stomp)

If you're ready for a story, if you're ready for a story

If you're ready for a story stomp your feet (stomp stomp)

If you're ready for a story wave hello

If you're ready for a story wave hello

If you're ready for a story, if you're ready for a story

If you're ready for a story hello

Big Big Big

This is big big big, this is small small small

This is short short short, this is tall tall tall

This is fast fast fast, this is slow slow slow

This is yes yes yes, this is no no no

ABCs

Open/Shut Them

Open shut them, open shut them

Give a little clap clap clap

Open shut them, open shut them

Put them in your lap lap lap

Creep them crawl them, creep them crawl them

Right up to your chinny chin chin

Open wide your little mouth-

But do not let them in!

Elevator Song

The city is great and the city is grand

There's a whole lot of people on a little piece of land

and we live way up on the 57th floor

So here's what we do when we go out the door

We take the elevator up, take the elevator down

Take the elevator up, take the elevator down

Take the elevator up, take the elevator down

And we turn around

Book #2: Can You Say It Too? Moo, Moo! by Sebastien Braun

What Shall We Do

What shall we do with lazy baby

What shall we do with lazy baby

What shall we do with lazy baby

Early in the morning

Roll her on the bed and tickle all over

Roll her on the bed and tickle all over

Roll her on the bed and tickle all over

Early in the morning

Heave ho and up she rises

Heave ho and up she rises

Heave ho and up she rises

Early in the morning

Head and Shoulders Baby

Head and shoulders baby, 1-2-3

Head and shoulders baby, 1-2-3

Head and shoulders, head and shoulders

Head and shoulders baby, 1-2-3

Knees and toes baby, 1-2-3

Knees and toes baby, 1-2-3

Knees and toes, knees and toes

Knees and toes baby, 1-2-3

Popcorn Kernels

Popcorn kernels, popcorn kernels

In the pot, in the pot

Shake them shake them shake them, shake them shake them shake them

'Til they pop! 'Til they pop!

One Bright Scarf

One bright scarf waiting for the wind to blow

Wiggle it high and wiggle it low

Shake it fast and shake it slow

Where did it go?

Lap Sit Week of 1/18

This was a bit of a strange week because our library was closed on Monday to observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so we only had 2 lap sits this week. I think we still had a lot of fun:

Lap Sit Week of 1/11/2016

Storytime is back! No matter how busy we are, it always feels so quiet without storytime. I was so happy to see all the returning families and new faces this week. We had a big group on Monday morning and smaller groups for the other sessions so a couple things got switched around, but here's what we were up to this week:

If You're Ready For a Story

If you're ready for a story clap your hands (clap clap)

If you're ready for a story clap your hands (clap clap)

If you're ready for a story, if you're ready for a story

If you're ready for a story stomp your feet (stomp stomp)

If you're ready for a story stomp your feet (stomp stomp)

If you're ready for a story, if you're ready for a story

If you're ready for a story stomp your feet (stomp stomp)

If you're ready for a story wave hello

If you're ready for a story wave hello

If you're ready for a story, if you're ready for a story

If you're ready for a story hello

Itsy Bitsy Spider

The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout

Down came the rain and washed the spider out

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain

And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again

Slowly, slowly very slowly up the garden rail

Quickly, quickly very quickly runs the little mouse

Quickly, quickly very quickly to his little house
