Wee Reads Art Dreams!

Hi Friends!
Today we explored colors and art during our preschool storytime.


We started with our usual warm ups and welcome song.
We do the same warm ups each week:

Reach for the ceiling

Reach for the Ceiling"

Reach for the ceiling,

Touch the floor,

Stand up again,

Let's do some more.

Touch your head,

Touch your knee,

Up to your shoulders,

Like this, you see?

Reach for the ceiling,

Touch the floor,

That's all for now,

There is no more.

I Clap My Hands

I Clap My Hands

I clap my hands      clap hands 

I touch my feet   touch feet 

I jump up from the ground.    jump up

I clap my hands   clap hands 

I touch my feet    touch feet 

I turn myself around.   turn around

I clap my hands    clap hands 

I touch my feet   touch feet 

I sit myself right down.    sit down

I clap my hands   clap hands 

I touch my feet    touch feet 

I do not make a sound.   sit quietly 

Shhh!     

We sign The More We Get Together and today we added the sign for paint and changed the song accordingly. 

The More We Get Together

The more we get together,

together, together,

The more we get together,

The happier we’ll be.

For your friends are my friends,

And my friends are your friends.

The more we get together,

The happier we’ll be. 

We read the following books:

Books Read:
Matthew's Dream by Leo Lionni
Color Dance by Ann Jonas
I Ain't Gonna Paint No More by Karen Beaumont

We also learned signs for colors and sang "The Rainbow Song" (this video was one found on You Tube)










For a storytime souvenir, children could create a mosaic using small pieces of paper or colorful foam shapes, draw a picture of whatever they wanted using crayons or markers.

Wee Reads meets Thursdays at 10:30 AM.
All are invited to attend.
