We started off storytime by doing our bean bag dance and
then we talked a little bit about night animals and nocturnal animals.
The first book I read was Secret Pizza Party by Daniel Salmieri.
This book was fun and really kept their attention.
Next, we did a flannel board activity using animals and
making their sounds. The group was a little shy, but the older boys in the
group helped us out.
I read The Very Lonely Firefly by Eric Carle and they really
enjoyed seeing the surprise ending with the book lighting up.
For our next activity, I used the book Moonlight Animals by
Elizabeth Golding. This book used a really fun effect of using a flashlight
piece and lighting up the animals in the pictures. We talked about each animal
and the kids thought it was really fun how the book worked.
Our last story was titled Night Animals by Gianna Marino. It
was perfect for this theme and had a funny ending.
Our craft was coloring an animal forest wheel and then
adding a brad and a flashlight piece on top so that the kids could rotate which
animal their flashlight shined on.
I thought this was a good theme, but would have liked to see
more flannel boards in our collection that could have been used for it.
