Toddler Time is on Thursday at 9:30am and 10:30am and geared towards little ones age 12 months to 36 months. *The 9:30 session tends to be much smaller so if you have a child who is shy or unsure about being in a new place this may be a better option.
What we did at Toddler Time:
Enter the Storytime Room and say hello to our doves.
Get your name written on a shape to put on our flannel board to show who is here today
Start with our welcome songs
Sing "Old McDonald" aka song of the month!
Sing songs such as Itsy Bitsy Spider
Read Clifford the Big Red Dog by Norman Bridwell
Sing more songs and dance around
Read/ Picture walked through Clifford's First Halloween by Norman Bridwell
 |
| I think Clifford has his eyes on a pile of treats! |
For our Clifford Party we tossed bean bags into Clifford's dog house, got out the shakers, and played with the toys.
Early Literacy Tip
The more children know and understand about their world, the more background knowledge they will be able to bring to the books they read. This helps them become good readers because what they already know gives them context for the new ideas that they read, and makes it easier to make sense out of what's on the page. Talking while you play with your child starts to build their understanding. Example- "Oh look the ball can't roll because it's stuck in a little hole. Balls can only roll when the ground is flat and smooth." (Practice: Playing)
