Literacy Tip - SING
Singing slows language down and breaks words into syllables. Early literacy tip for caregivers-Sing “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” with an adult and choose the animals. Act the animals out together or use puppets or stuffed animals.

Rhyme – Little Heart
I have a little heart, (place hand over heart)
And it goes thump, thump, thump (pat chest three times)

It makes me want to give you a hug or two. (hug yourself)

How'd it go:
Goodness, this was a big group. I am seriously going to have to consider tickets soon. Because we were so big, it was a bit louder than normal and a lot of older guys in the storytime. I ended up cutting out my sharing prop rhyme. It went well but... phew!
That's all for now!
