Library Letter:

Hi Miss Marissa,

“Welcome to the Genesee-Johnson Library! We have a wonderful children’s area. We also have a beautiful gazebo that is perfect for reading books in. Sometimes, we have programs out there as well. Oh, one more thing, we also have a bird in the library. He is a Cooper’s Hawk and he’s perched on one of our bookshelves. See if you can find him next time you visit!Love, Miss Sherri”

Library Field Trip: Genesee-Johnson Library Branch

We visited the Genesee-Johnson Branch to read a book and sing a song.

Song: Raindrops Are Falling

Tune: London Bridge Little raindrops falling down Falling down, falling down Little raindrops falling down Falling to the ground Bigger raindrops are falling down Falling down, falling down Bigger raindrops are falling down Falling to the ground Other Verses: Giant raindrops… (stamp feet on the ground) Fast raindrops… (wiggle fingers and sing quickly) Slow raindrops… (wiggle fingers and sing slowly) Teeny Tiny raindrops… (use fingers only for rain and sing in a high pitched voice)

Book: Bumpity, Dumpity, Thunkity, Thunk by K. L. Goings

Mystery Box:

Today we had puppets and shakers in our mystery box.

Puppet Song: Muddy Water Puddle by Hap Palmer

Everybody tiptoe through the puddle
Step inside with your pants held high
Tippy toe off you go popping bubbles
Playing in a muddy water puddle
Everybody stomp around in the puddle
Stamp your boots so the water shoots
Stomp around clomp around, jump and scuffle
Playing in a muddy water puddle
Everybody roll around in the puddle
Get yourself muddy so you look real funny
Splash around thrash around gurgle guggle
Playing in a muddy water puddle

Shaker Song: Bumping Up and Down

Bumpin’ up and down in my little red wagon.
Bumpin’ up and down in my little red wagon.
Bumpin’ up and down in my little red wagon,
Won’t you be my darlin’.
//Going round a curve in my little red wagon
//Going up a hill in my little red wagon
//Going down a hill in my little red wagon

Goodbye song: Goodbye friends
