- Read a few pages of rhyming dust bunnies
- We ask questions like (go back to make a scary face) what will happen to the bug? How would you get the bug out of your shirt? What should happen at the end of this book.
- Using our finger to point to the words especially the title or pointing to pictures as we say words

- Movement is necessary for a child’s healthy devleopment. Th American Academy of Pediatrics agrees. We have an obesity epidemic in this country and we want children to associate movement with fun. As there’s an increasing focus in schools on academics and less time for recess, we want children to start moving at a very young age. We want them to lead healthy intellectual as well as physical lives.
- IN fact, some children learn the BEST this way. There’s a place in this world for that little 3 year old who just can’t sit still and listen without moving during story time. Maybe he’s a kinesthetic learner and will become an athlete or an architect or actor. We don’t want to leave out any child. We want to meet all of their needs and as much as we get frustrated with those squirmers, not only is it developmentally appropriate to squirm around at 2, it’s actually beneficial to some children to be moving while they learn.
- For the same reasons movement is important, music is important. We want the children to have a multisensory experience.

- Parachute practice: 1. sitting down with where is thumbkin 2. Call out names and run under the parachute 3. Row row row your boat 4. Winter snowflakes falling down 5. shake my sillies out 6. march around
- Why don’t you take 10 minutes and try and think of a traditional song or finger play or action rhyme you could adapt to the parachute. Talk about with the people aroudn you lets go into groups of 3 and then we will share some of our ideas.
