How It Went

Site Information
At this location, I do two storytimes and each group has their own theme/storytime. Today’s group was the Pre-K and school age classrooms. I read to 45 people total.

Topic
This particular facility selects themes for me to do ahead of time to tie into their curriculum.

This theme is rich in books for older kids. I highlighted some new to me titles (Snow White and the 77 Dwarves which they LOVED) and revisited some old favorites (Waking Beauty). By far, the most successful part of the day was when I did a Three Bears trio with the Barton book, the The Great Fairy Tale Disaster and the storytelling prop from Melissa & Doug. They had a great time hearing the tale multiple ways and then retelling the story to me using the prop.
