2020 READ AND ROMP DAY BOOKS and ACTIVITIES
Yesterday I heard that some parents were interested in the books that were used for our Read and Romp Day this year. Early Childhood librarian, Mrs. Mould, plans to read the books on-line to children so please be watching for that on See Saw. I thought, however, that it would be helpful to show the books here, along with a brief description of the activity we did for each book. Please look back at my post for Wednesday, March 11, to read more about the activities we did for these books and to view pictures.
Moon’s First Friends by Susanna Leonard Hill
(Children ate a rocket ship fruit skewer and Nilla wafer flying saucers at our snack station.)
The Scarecrow by Beth Ferry
(Students participated in a relay to stuff a scarecrow with plastic bags.)
Good Night Little Blue Truck by Alice Schertle
(We played musical hula hoops where no one was ever out. More and more people just kept adding in to remaining hoops as hoops were taken away, and they had to stay connected by holding hands. In the end, two groups were vying for one hoop.)
A Dot in the Snow by Corrinne Averiss
(Children had to find different sizes of red mittens in a box filled with white packing peanuts.)
Yummy
Yoga by Joy Bauer
(Students participated in some yoga activities.)
Bruce’s Big Storm by Ryan T. Higgins
(I sliced off pieces of swim noodles like a cinnamon roll and cut them in half. Students
pinched them between their fingers and tried to make them fly into a big red umbrella.)
Hello Ninja by N.D. Wilson
(Students crawled over and under a laser beam course made from yarn stretched at different levels. They also threw Ninja stars through a hula hoop target.)
Bring Me a Rock by Daniel Miyares
(Students stacked plastic cups of the same size - open side up, open side down,
trying to create a tall tower.)
I Am A Tiger by Karl Newson
(Students did a dance to Katy Perry's "Roar".)
Tangled- A Story About Shapes by Anne Miranda
(Students made geometric shapes with a piece of yarn,
with their fingers, bodies, or in a group with others.)
