Thursday Storytime - Thankfulness

We are blessed to have an excellent, large library within a 5 minute drive from our home.  Each Thursday, the knowledgeable & friendly children's librarian offers a preschool storytime complete with stories, songs, finger-plays, & a craft.

My granddaughter & I attended our very first storytime together the Thursday prior to Thanksgiving and the theme was "thankfulness".  I was a bit apprehensive as we have been working with her on learning to obey & follow commands immediately & I wasn't sure if she would handle sitting still for a whole hour.

She did fantastic & we had a fun time!  The librarian read aloud 4 different storybooks, we sang 3 songs which included finger-plays, & each child had an opportunity to tell the room what they were most thankful for. 
What a beautiful way to spend an afternoon!

Our favorite book was A Turkey for Thanksgiving by Eve Bunting

 



 

Afterward, my granddaughter cut and pasted her very own turkey craft!
