Kelly is here today to read you the story, "You can do it, Bert!"Story time Activities you can do at home! “You Can Do It, Bert” by Ole Konnecke Challenge yourself to try something new! 1. Bert was trying something new, something he hadn’t done before. Is there something you could try today that you haven’t done before? Maybe try 30 jumping jacks in a row, or you could draw a bird like Bert, or maybe you could get dressed all by yourself :). Challenge yourself to try something new! Find birds in your neighborhood! 2. After I read the story I went outside to see if I could see any birds in the trees. I saw a robin, and a really big blackbird. If you go outside or look out of your windows do you see any birds? What kind of birds live in your neighborhood? Sing a song about birds! 3. Do you remember our Bird Song? Way up in the sky The little birds fly (flap your wings) Way down in the nest The little birds rest (pretend to sleep) With a wing on the left (flap your left wing) And a wing on the right (flap your right wing) The little birds sleep All through the night (SHHHHH) The bright sun comes up (make a sun over your head with your arms) The dew falls away “Good Morning Good Morning” (make your hands talk like a beak) The little birds say Kelly has another magical story for you to listen to - "The Most Wonderful Egg in the World!"Story Time Activities related to “The Most Wonderful Egg In The World” by Helme Heine 1. In the story Dotty, Stalky, and Plumy each laid an egg, and each egg was extraordinary and unique. Pretend that you are a chicken, Bok Bok, and lay an egg. What does your egg look like? Is it a colorful egg? Is it a small, medium, or large egg? You could even draw or paint your extraordinary egg! 2. In the story Plumy’s egg was not the usual egg shape - it was a cube. Go on a shape hunt around your house or yard and look for things that are in the shape of a cube. Does a cube resemble a square? How many squares can you see on a cube? 3. Presumably chickens came out of Dotty, Stalky, and Plumy’s eggs, but maybe not? what if the story continued and we got to see what hatched from the eggs? What do you think came out of Dotty’s perfect egg? What came out of Stalky’s very large egg? And finally what hatched from Plumy’s colorful cube shaped egg? I wish that I could hear all of your creative answers - you have the best imagination! On and Off with Wendy!Science Teacher Wendy is here to do a special activity based on a lesson she did at school a new weeks ago - "On and Off!" How many *safe* things can you find that turn on and off? Make sure a grownup is supervising this fun science activity!
