Snow, January 5th and 6th, 2011

Begin by singing Raffi’s Shake My Sillies Out.

Book: Froggy Gets Dressed by Jonathan London; illustrated by Frank Remkiewicz.
(We have a big book version of this story.)

Poem: The Snowball, from the Shel Silverstein book Falling Up. We use a snowball prop along with a pajama hat and bed to tell this poem. One librarian read the poem while the other acted it out.

Book: The Greatest Snowman in the World! by Peter Hannan.

Song: Once There Was a Snowman

Once there was a snowman, snowman, snowman,
Once there was a snowman, tall, tall, tall.
In the sun he melted, melted, melted,
In the sun he melted, small, small, small!

Book: The Snowball by Jennifer Armstrong; illustrated by Jean Pidgeon. (We use a
snowball prop along with characters, which can be used to tell the story in place of the actual book.)

Book: Sledding by David Martin; illustrated by Frank Remkiewicz. I made
some magnetic cut-outs that go along with the story which can be used on the magnetic chalkboard in place of the actual book.

Song: You Gotta Keep Warm from the compact disc Bananas in Pajamas Bumping and a-Jumping.

Book: Penelope in the Winter by Anne Gutman and Georg Hallensleben.

Activity: Ice Skating! (We passed out mini-paper plates, which the children used to
skate around on while we played the song Skating, from the cd, Bananas in Pajamas Bumping and a-Jumping.)
