Pre-School Storytime: Cats & Kittens

Cats & Kittens (Ages 3-6) 

This storytime incorporates current and classic stories, nursery rhymes, 

sign language, letter, number, and color identification, 

music and movement (including yoga)  and a bilingual story.

(Note, this is a long program, may need to pick and choose or if in a child-care setting, 

use the elements over the course of a week.)

Sign Language Song: “Hear the Little Doggie” – song from Pick Me Up, Fun Songs for Learning Signs

Flannel: Hey Diddle Diddle (classic nursery rhyme)

Book (4’s &5’s): It’s a Secret by John Burningham (wonderful fantasy that answers why your cat might sleep all day!)

Book (3’s & 4’s) Kitten Tale by Eric Rohmann (if not used for winter storytime) or Kitten’s First Full Moon by Kevin Henkes (if not used for moon storytime) (booktalked this to the older groups)

Flannel Song: “I Know a Cat” (K-I-T-T-Y)– letter identification, listening skills, rhythm practice

 (tune:  "B-I-N-G-O")
I know a cat with perky ears
And Kitty is her name-o.
K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y,
And Kitty is her name-o.

(Repeat, dropping one letter from K-I-T-T-Y and replacing that letter with a clap with each verse.  Ultimately, five claps will replace the five letters.)

Action Song: Paws, Whiskers, Ears and Tails  (tune:  "Head Shoulders Knees and Toes")

Paws,                      (curl hands in front)   Whiskers,     (make whiskers on sides of face, = sign language for cat)

Ears                        (touch ears)          and Tails,              (touch tail)

Ears                        (touch ears)          and Tails,              (touch tail)

We’ll lick our fur (pretend to lick) and nap right here (hands together by side of head to pretend to sleep)

Paws, whiskers, ears and tails, ears and tails.                 (repeat actions as before)

Book: How to Be a Cat – Nikki McClure (beautiful woodcuts, simple text  -- kids can read out letters – and  read some words, acted out the actions -- unusual words àvocabulary development)

Book: Three Little Kittens (both Jerry Pinkney & Paul Galdone versions are lovely)  (classic nursery rhyme, vocabulary “soiled”)

Glove puppets/numeral cards: Five Little Kittens (subtraction, numeral identification, numeral orientation with older groups – I put numeral card sideways or upside and kids love to fix it!) 

Five Little Kittens (source unknown)

Five little kittens sleeping on a chair.

One rolled off -- Leaving four there.

Four little kittens -- One climbed a tree

To look in a bird's nest -- Then there were three.

Three little kittens wondered what to do.

One saw a mouse -- Then there were two.

Two little kittens  playing near a wall.

One little kitten left -- To chase a red ball.

One little kitten With fur soft as silk.

Left all alone -- To drink a dish of milk.

Book: (4’s & 5’s): Tiger in My Soup by Kashmira Sheth (great book emphasizing reading & imagination)

Action Book  (Yoga poses): You Are a Lion & Other Fun Yoga Poses by Taeeun Yoo (Alternative: Pretend You’re a Cat by Jean Marzollo

Bilingual Book : Miaow! by Alankrita Jain (read English text, asked if we had anyone who read Tamil (didn’t) but gave me a chance to promote our World Language Collection)

Singable Book: Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes by Eric Litwin

Beautiful books but no time: The Cinder-Eyed Cats by Eric Rohmann, Rumble Tum by Stephanie Peters

Video/DVD: Splat the Cat (Weston Woods)  (Alts: Hondo & Fabian, Three Legged-Cat, Cat and Canary, or Here Comes the Cat.  Didn’t use: Millions of Cats – music too loud, overpowers narration)

National Poetry Month–Poetry Treasure Hunt

April is National Poetry Month…Celebrate with our Poetry Treasure Hunt!
(Poems are posted around the children’s room…find the poems, answer the questions, solve the puzzle and bring it to the Youth Services Reference Desk for a prize!)

We created a treasure hunt for our kids in order to generate some excitement about poetry in our library – and maybe generate some circulations of our wonderful poetry books!  In case anyone wants to do this at their library, I am sharing the materials we created.  Here’s a sample:

Click here for the complete set of materials.

School Age Program: “You’re a Poet Though You Might Not Know It!” Grade K-6 National Poetry Month Program

“Every day when I go out, I fill my shoes with sauerkraut....”
Come read and create some wild, wacky,
and wonderful poems with us!   
(If you have a favorite poem, bring it along!)  
Special guest: local writer Randi Clarken.

This was a program to encourage kids to play with poetry then write some of their own.  We had a local poet join us, but that portion could be omitted.

Poetry Program – You’re a Poet though You May Not Know It  “Today we’re going to write some poems of our own -- but first we’re going to hear some poems to get our own creative ideas flowing and get some tips about poetry-writing…”

Poetry Warm-up:

• Mary Had Some Bubble Gum http://www.gigglepoetry.com/poem.aspx?PoemID=604&CategoryID=28
• Complete the Newfangled Yankee Doodle Poems http://www.gigglepoetry.com/poetryfun/newfangledfib.html
• Poetry Theater:
  • “Ish!” http://www.gigglepoetry.com/poetrytheaterdetail.aspx?TheaterID=17

Shared these tips from Jack Prelutsky Pizza, Pigs, and Poetry – anyone know of him (show his books) –keeps writing notebook (used page numbers below -- 2015 during spring break, kids a bit antsy so I only some of these))

1. Write about something that really happened (ok to exaggerate though!):
Ø p.5 “I Wonder Why Dad is so Thoroughly Mad”
Ø p.18 “My Mother’s Rules”
Ø another poem about his mom’s rules: p.23 “Deep in Our Refrigerator”
Ø RJC p. 17 “Under My Bed”

2. Brothers, Sisters, Pets, Friends and Toys make good subjects:

Ø (also “The Tickle Poem” p.14 in Sunflakes )
Ø RJC p. 115 “A Very Tiny Poem”

4. But you may revisit a subject if you find you have more to say:
Ø P.35 “Do Oysters Sneeze”
Ø RJC p.27 “Closet Avoidance”

5. Images can inspire poems:
Ø p.43 “We’re Fearless Flying Hot Dogs”
Ø p.39 “Forty Performing Bananas” (re-writing playing with language – read section),
Ø p.53 “I’m Building a Bridge of Bananas”
Ø p.74 “The Turkey Shot Out of the Oven”
Ø RJC p. 69 “Were Rabbits”
Ø RJC p.72 “Speaking Of…How to Make a Dust Bunny Happy”

ROSENSTOCK, Barb. The Noisy Paint Box: The Colors and Sounds of Kandinsky’s Abstract Art. illus. by Mary Grandpré.Knopf. 2014. ISBN 9780307978493. JLG Level:  E+ : Easy Reading (Grades 1–3).

Vasya Kandinsky’s proper life would never be the same after his aunt gave him his first paint supplies. The colors seemed to whisper to him―what a noisy paint box! He worked until the colors went quiet. But no one understood what his paintings said, so he began to paint like everyone else. It would take a trip to the opera for the artist to unleash the power of his work. And he would never paint “properly” again.

Resources abound for this beautifully written and illustrated work. A Pinterest board features Kandinsky lessons. The Classroom Bookshelf published a post of the new title with resources for teaching. Watch a book trailer on Rosenstock’s website. You can invite the author to your school, visit via Skype, or follow her on Twitter or Pinterest. Harry Potter fans will recognize Mary Grandpré’s artwork and may want to visit her website. Perhaps you can’t take a field trip to the New York City art museum, but your students can view the Kandinsky Guggenheim exhibit online. http://www.livebinders.com/play/play/1198808

Briefly discussed synesthesia and showed pictures of some of his abstract paintings.  Then put on album "Jazz Playground" (Putamayo international music) and had kids use tempera paints to "paint what the music sounded like." (multicultural album provides lots of variety)  (Supplies: large paper, paint, brushes, water cups)

Picture This: Art Exploration For Kids: Gods in Color – New views of the Art of Ancient Greece

 

Picture This: Art Exploration For Kids: Gods in Color – New views of the Art of Ancient Greece

(Program for Kdg-5th graders)

 

“Travel back in time with us to Ancient Greece, meet the Gods from Mount Olympus, and hear about a surprising discovery scientists recently made about the sculptures there – then create a statue of your own! “

PowerPointpresentation available.

• Display books: Rick Riordan (Lightning Thief ) , Joan Holub (Goddess Girls), Carolyn Hennesy (Pandora), Greek Mythology (292.13), Ancient Greece (938), Ancient Greek art (709.38)

• Open by reading Mount Olympus Baskeball by Kevin O'Malley  -- surprise! never thought of basketball and Greek Gods together!!
  
  
• Ask what they know about Greek mythology --  Have they seen statues from Ancient Greece?  What do they look like?

·        Mention even grown-ups surprised sometimes  – I went to an art museum in Boston and discovered that Ancient Greek statues weren’t the white marble I’d always thought!  Research is ahead of most books – most of our Ancient Greek Art books don't show what scientists now know (Ancient Greek Art -- 709.38 Hodge, c2006 mentions it on some of the pages but has no pictures of the reconstructions, nor do any other books to my knowledge!)  Internet sights with pictures & information: http://harvardmagazine.com/2007/11/dazzlers-html

http://moco-choco.com/2014/04/18/true-colors-of-ancient-greek-and-roman-statues/

·       Powerpoint presentation featuring pictures from the “Gods in Color” exhibition.  Talk about how scientists discovered remnants of ancient pigments.

·       Craft: Have kids make Greek sculptures out of playdough (since we didn't have time to make sculpture one day and paint or color it the next, we used colored dough -- available very inexpensively at dollar stores).  Some kids sculpted free-form 3D statues, others made a freeze on a cereal box type cardboard base.  Others used the photocopied line drawings of Greek Statues (from the Museum's Family Guide) as a base and used flattened playdough to add pattern & color.  (If you have a multi-day program, you could have them sculpt one day and then paint or color the next day. -- Crayola Model Magic is one possibility for this.)

Music during craft (and while kids arriving): Mosaic: the Music of Greece (Nick Stoubis)

·         Additional resources:  http://christogenea.org/resources/Harvard%20gods%20in%20color%20gallery%20guide.pdf, coloring sheets & handouts from the kid’s guide to the exhibition (not available online unfortunately), books of Ancient Greek sculpture.

Painting of sculpture-- from Wikipedia

By the early 19th century, the systematic excavation of ancient Greek sites had brought forth a plethora of sculptures with traces of notably multicolored surfaces, some of which were still visible. Despite this, influential art historians such as Johann Joachim Winckelmann so strongly opposed the idea of painted Greek sculpture that proponents of painted statues were dismissed as eccentrics, and their views were largely dismissed for more than a century.

It was not until published findings by German archaeologist Vinzenz Brinkmann in the late 20th and early 21st century that the painting of ancient Greek sculptures became an established fact. Using high-intensity lamps, ultraviolet light, specially designed cameras, plaster casts, and certain powdered minerals, Brinkmann proved that the entire Parthenon, including the actual structure as well as the statues, had been painted. He analyzed the pigments of the original paint to discover their composition.

Brinkmann made several painted replicas of Greek statues that went on tour around the world. Also in the collection were replicas of other works of Greek and Roman sculpture, and he demonstrated that the practice of painting sculpture was the norm rather than the exception in Greek and Roman art.^[4]Museums that hosted the exhibit included the Glyptotek Museum in Munich, the Vatican Museum, and the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, et al. The collection made its American debut at Harvard University in the Fall of 2007.^[5]
