Alligators

Last night I did stories involving mishievous, greed alligators. These are the books I read and left out for some of the older kids to read. I didn't get to do the alligator craft because I'm a little low on money. Next week I will try a craft. I think I will do bugs. I will try to incorporate more nursery rhymes and fingerplays into storytime because they are slowing slipping my mind.

• There's an Alligator Under My Bed by Mercer Mayer (My son's favorite book)
• The Wide-mouthed Frog by Keith Faulkner
• A Frog in a bog by Karma Wilson
• Snip Snap, What's That? by Mara Bergman

Older readers

• Little Pierre : a Cajun story from Louisiana by Robert San Souci
• Gator Gambo by Candace Fleming
• Trosclair and the Alligator by Peter Huggins (French words and I didn't take French in high school)

We did Mr. Alligator song. Five little monkeys swinging in a tree....
