Here's what each involves: </p> <p>1) This one is actually held at a bakery by a local sign language school, but it's my fave so I'll include it. :) Alternating songs and stories (3 books total, but not having to sit through two books in a row is a good thing for my active kids!), at least one song where they stand up and dance around, bubbles with a song, and hand stamps on the end (the kids love this). Each week we learn a new 4-5 signs That fit with the month's theme, in addition to the signing they do with the books and the songs we sing each time.</p> <p>2) This one's a library story time, but my least favorite. There's singing in the beginning (usually twinkle twinkle little star or the itsy bitsy spider), then 3-4 books all in a row. It's an alphabet theme so each week is a different letter. Then at the end there's coloring or a simple craft. Up until that point, the kids are expected to sit down and stay still which is hard for my two year olds!</p> <p>3) This is the new one we tried and it was really fun. First there was a song and the kids got out little carpet squares to sit on (something about picking out their own carpet square seemed to make them more excited about sitting still through a book!) Then one book (I hear that sometimes they do two books here - depends on the length of books). Then we did an art project, then ribbon dancing while listening to music. Then the teacher got out a box of toys and the kids could play, or head back into the library to get books or do puzzles. There was a lot crammed into a 45 min class, but that actually works well for me because my kids have short attention spans and liked moving from one activity to the next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/besides-reading-what-does-your-library-story-hour-involve#post-2566734 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 08:15:00 +0000 Bao 2566734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to start going to the library story hour today, it's been over a year since we've been....maybe even 2 years! I remember story and songs, and I think maybe an activity but I'm not positive on that. I'm excited to get the girls out to do something consistently this summer. </p>
