VALENTINES DAY 2/09/2015

Valentine's Day is always a special time to tell my little storytime friends how much I enjoy seeing their smiling faces each and every week.  They bring so much joy during storytime that I constantly remind myself how blessed I am to do what I do every Monday morning.  With that in mind, here
are our Valentine's selections for our Valentine theme. Enjoy !!!


Love Monster by Rachel Bright
I Love you, nose! I love you, toes! by Linda Davick
If you'll be my valentine by Cynthia Rylant

Skinamarink-a-dink-a-dink (song)

Skinamarink a dink a dink, skinamarink a do
I love you*
 Skinamarink a dink a dink, skinamarink a do
I love you...*

I love you in the morning and in the afternoon
I love you in the evening underneath the moon.

Oh
Skinamarink a dink a dink, skinamarink a do
I love you...I really love you
 Skinamarink a dink a dink, skinamarink a do
I love you...

We would insert different things that we loved such as:
Mac & Cheese, Dinosaurs, Naps, Puppies...the possibilites are endless.


 Love Bug, love bug oh so smart (flannel)

I had 6 glittery, fancy and sparkly valentines/hearts and one love bug (ladybug)
I placed the ladybug under one of the hearts and proceded to say the chant

Love bug, love bug oh so smart.  Are you behind the ________ heart?

 I would choose a heart that it was not under. This would continue until the last one was left.
And sure enough, there was our little lovebug. The anticipations on the childrens faces was priceless
as one by one we would remove a heart with no love bug.  They cheered when we finally found it.
Oh love bug you are certainly clever!!!
