This is my story time plan and I am extremely nervous about it. I think the main thing I'm worried about is having to sing in front of people because it's really not something I'm comfortable doing. With this branch's story time, they usually pick a theme and for mine, I picked imagination because I feel like that is one of the most important things a person can develop.
Song: If You're Happy and You Know It
I chose this song to start off because it was something that would get the kids up and moving.

Parental Aside: Racing to Read: Love Books
The Racing to Read system allows the parents to understand what the child will be getting from each activity in the story times. There are five traits of Racing to Read: tell stories, love books, sing and rhyme, talk and read, and play with letters. I thought that Love Books was the most accurate to my story time.

Read: Pretend
Pretend is a book about a father and son that pretend their couch is a raft that leads them to a deserted island. Another book where imagination comes into play!

Song: I’m a Little Teapot
This song went right along with my theme and it's a very common song during the story times, so the children will know it.

Read: Where the Wild Things Are
In this book, Max imagines a different world with different creatures, where he is the king. It seemed perfect for my theme!

Song: Dingle Dangle Scarecrow
This is a somewhat less known song, so I'm a little concerned about it. I will have to write the words up on a large piece of paper and display it where the parents and children will be able to see it. I found a dance that goes along with this song, so it will definitely keep the children entertained. I'm a bit nervous about this one, since the children will probably not know it and I'll have to be dancing and singing by myself.

Read: There’s a Wocket in my Pocket!
With the theme I chose, I know I just had to pick a book written by Dr. Seuss. This one is a particularly short book because I was advised against choosing a book that was very long.

Song: Grand Ol’ Duke of York
The Grand Ol' Duke of York was another song that was slightly well-known and that also had a slight theme of imagination. It's about the Duke of York that is marching with his men, so I will have the children march in place with me.

Activity: Dragon craft
My supervisor, Charity, was so excited when I found this craft! She is convinced that the children will love it and that's giving me a little bit of confidence. It really promotes imagination because by blowing through the back of the dragon's head, the colored streamers will flow, so they can all pretend they're dragons!

I chose this song because it sort of has an ending feel to it and I thought it would be perfect to end the story time. I'm a little excited for this because it is a rather common song in this branch and it is always done with sign language!
