Letter N

It is necessary for newbie N to be notorious, never needing national recognition.

BOOKS: 

We read Nighttime Ninja by Barbara Dacosta and Too Much Noise by Ann McGovern.

I really really like both of these books.  Too Much Noise was particularly fun because I found a free animal noise soundboard, so every time a new animal came on the scene we played the noise.  The went MOOOOOO and the sheep went BAAAAA.  Great fun was had by all.

FINGERPLAY:

Two HUGE thumbs up to Storytime Katie for this one.  I’m super surprised I hadn’t used “Five Little Nails” before this storytime.  I’ll definitely use it again. The kids loved the BAM BAM BAM! part. (I know, big surprise.)

Five Little Nails

Five little nails, standing straight and steady
Here I come with my hammer ready!
Bam, bam, bam! That nail goes down.
Now there’s just four nails left to pound.
(count down)

SONG:

We shook our shakers and danced our little buns off to “The Bare Necessities” from The Jungle Book.

CRAFT:

We made little nests!  My mom suggested nests since she had one in her backyard.  I found this craft via Pinterest and it was perfect.
