We went to the Reading Bus again today. If you're wondering what the Reading Bus is....then read the following. I took the info directly from the Va Beach City Public School web site.
What is the Reading Bus?
The Reading Bus is stocked with hundreds of volumes of books and fun activities. Its main purpose is to promote reading readiness to preschool children ages 2 – 5 years as it travels to various Virginia Beach communities. Parents board the bus and take part in Reading Bus activities.
Today the story was
The Pout-Pout Fish by Deborah Diesen. One teacher read the story and the other teacher performed it with stuffed animals/puppets.
Then they talked about opposites. Sophia found out that the program is for 2-5 yr olds and she
thinks she's almost 6 so she was acting rather aloof to the whole program until it was craft time. She really enjoyed creating a paper plate fish and decorating it with bingo stampers.
I helped Lilly make her fishy. She wasn't very interested in the craft. In fact, I'm not sure if she really enjoyed herself there today at all. She kept asking to sit in my lap and the rule is that the children sit independent from their parent during story time/instruction. I kept encouraging her to sit with Sophia and she would...for a while...and then she'd ask again to sit in my lap. Anyway, I'm will continue to take her through the school year and hopefully she'll bloom a bit on her own.
** She's been posing for the camera lately and giving me some really cute shots. I love it! **
Sophia couldn't refuse the opportunity to share a little personality.
