One of the programs we do every year at my new library is "Ready, Set, Go! To Kindergarten," a storytime for kids who will be entering kindergarten in the fall. I only had about 30 minutes of actual librarian-directed time to work with and a lot of ground I wanted to cover to go over some of the kindergarten-readiness knowledge. This was an evening program we had on Monday for about 20 kids and their parents.
Books Read
Colors: Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes
ABCS: Boom Chicka Boom Boom
School In General: Look Out Kindergarten, Here I Come by Nancy Carlson
Song: Kindergarten Here We Come
Movement Song: The Bean Bag by Hap Palmer
Craft: School Words Book
We also sang "The Wheels on the Bus" with the parachute to close out the evening.
Note to self: Do not use the same date for this program (Monday, 8/26) next year! So many people had to cancel because it was a kindergarten open house at one of our school districts.
I actually ran a little short on time for this one, so I need to add more stuff for next year. All the kids were super well behaved and things didn't wind up taking as much time as I thought they would, oops!
