Shared Stories

October 7-11: Corduroy by James Freeman

This story is about a teddy bear who has lost his button and therefore no one wants to purchase him from the store. He goes on a mission to find his missing button, comparing and contrasting different items to his button. This story is great to introduce sorting by different attributes. 

September 30- October 4: Old McDonald had a Farm

This story is great for introducing farm animals, their babies, and the sounds they make

September 23-27: The Wheels on the Bus by Eric Litwin

These awesome adaptation to the popular children's book features Pete the Cat, a carefree fun loving cat that makes old stories new again! We will focus on positional words during this shared story week. 

September 16-20: There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly by Pam Adams

We were able to use this funky and fun story/song to introduce cause and effect relationships with the children. The children were able to practice their listening and recall skills throughout the use of this story.

September 9-13: 5 Little Ducks by Pamela Paparone

This popular children's song adaptation helped us introduce counting forwards and backwards from five. By the end of the week, the children were very familiar with the story, song, and counting by rote to 5. 

September 2-6: The Itsy Bitsy Spider by Iza Trapani

We jump started the year with an book adaptation to the popular children's song. 

August 28-30: The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn

We used this heartwarming story about a scared little raccoon starting school for the first time to help the children feel more comfortable with the big change or starting school by relating to the story characters.
