Toddler Storytime – Summer Week #5
My storytime was very busy this week – so busy in fact that when I normally sit to read the stories, I had to stand to make sure everyone could see. Families loved Cha-Cha Chimps and helped during the repeated phrase, but I was surprised that Choo Choo Clickety Clack! didn’t go…

Yoga Storytime – Summer Week #5
The kids didn’t really get The Day the Crayons Quit but they still had fun yelling out the colors and the drawings on each page. This book is very much geared toward an older (elementary school age) audience. They really had a lot of fun with Foxy and kept giggling when…

Toddler Storytime – Summer Week #4
This week by far, the kids liked Now I’m Big! by Karen Katz the best. Every time the story repeated “Now I’m Big!” we reached our hands up to the sky and the kids loved participating in this way. My non-fiction book for the week I Drive a Dump Truck did not go…

Yoga Storytime – Summer Week #4
I didn’t see as many kids in my storytime yesterday as I normally do. I’m wondering if it’s a popular week for vacation. Otherwise, the kids seemed to enjoy the books this week – we talked a lot about different types of animals and I was able to introduce parents/caregivers…

Toddler Storytime – Summer Week #3
Although a little crazy this morning, my books went over really well! The parents really enjoyed This Little Piggy and there were lots of kissing sounds all around while I read The Biggest Kiss and during Moo! after I had read a particularly long line of Moos, a little baby started repeating the sound… it…

Yoga Storytime – Summer Week #3
Storytime was a lot of fun today! The kids in my first group were excellent at paying attention to directions, listening to the stories and interacting. It was a great way to come back from a long weekend. My second group was smaller, but the kids enjoyed it just as…

Toddler Storytime – Summer Week #2
It was one of those days with a HUGE crowd for storytime, most had registered while some families just popped in at the last moment. All was going well until a child threw up on the stairs of our storytime room (we have stadium style rows). Being that this was…

Yoga Storytime – Week #2
The kids really loved our books this week! We had such a fun time reading and interacting. There has been such a positive response, that we actually opened a second class, so now I have two yoga classes back-to-back which can be a little hectic, but our patrons were very…

Toddler Storytime – Summer Week #1
This was my first storytime for the summer and it started with very few people. But, by the end I had a huge, lively crowd (at least 25 kids) plus the adults and their siblings. It wasn’t a bad storytime as far as talking, crying, and not listening… there were…

Yoga Storytime – Summer Week #1
My storytimes for the summer officially started yesterday and we have so many people on our waiting list, I’ll be doing my Yoga Storytime back-to-back. The room we use for our program isn’t very large, so we decided to smaller classes would be the best way to handle the class.…
