    Yoga Storytime – Summer Week #3

    Storytime was a lot of fun today!  The kids in my first group were excellent at paying attention to directions, listening to the stories and interacting.  It was a great way to come back from a long weekend.  My second group was smaller, but the kids enjoyed it just as…

    Yoga Storytime – Week #2

    The kids really loved our books this week!  We had such a fun time reading and interacting.  There has been such a positive response, that we actually opened a second class, so now I have two yoga classes back-to-back which can be a little hectic, but our patrons were very…

    Yoga Storytime – Summer Week #1

    My storytimes for the summer officially started yesterday and we have so many people on our waiting list, I’ll be doing my Yoga Storytime back-to-back.  The room we use for our program isn’t very large, so we decided to smaller classes would be the best way to handle the class.…

    Story Time Theme: Red

    Today was our last storytime of the session and although I absolutely love storytime, this session has been rough!  I don’t know what it was – the kids, adults, some combination of the two, but it seemed out of control each and every week.  We’re changing the schedule a little…

    I don’t know what’s been going on, but my story times have been absolutely crazy all season long!  Last week, I had eight kids – it was absolutely nuts!  This week, I probably had close to 20 kids, and even crazier.  I think the biggest issue in this session is…

    Story Time Theme: Yellow

    We are continuing our color-themed story times this week with the color yellow!  With only eight kids in attendance, I thought we’d be able to whiz through a lot of things, but the kids were very squirmy!  Even so, I was able finally to use the nursery rhyme cube, but…

    Story Time Theme: Blue

    Following in last week’s footsteps, this week’s theme is the color BLUE!  Although I had a much smaller crowd this week, we had a great time learning about the color blue.  I still haven’t gotten a chance to use my nursery rhyme cube, but we were able to get through…

    Storytime Theme: Purple – Part 2 (Yoga)

    Today’s storytime used the same books from my toddler storytime on Monday and Tuesday, but were much more successful, even with 22 kids (ages 2 – 5) doing yoga!  The storytime as a whole tended toward the crazy side, but the kids did a fairly great job with the yoga poses…

    Fun Friday – Yoga

    The kids were all a little wired for our Fun Friday program.  We ended up with 21 kids for 45 minutes in grades 1 – 4.  It’s only the second week of school, the weather was awesome, and it was Friday, so naturally the kids were bouncing off the walls. …

    Story Time Theme: Green

    This was our last week of story time before summer.  We tend to end rather early in May because kids get really busy and we do too!  We visit a number of schools gearing up for summer reading during the month of May and having a more open schedule allows…
