Last week we learned about Fall. I did not reinvent the wheel with that storytime theme so you can look at my past Fall or Autumn storytimes for most of what I did last week.
This week we learned about music! I like to do this sort of theme when I am going to be out one or two of my storytime days. It is hard on your voice if you sing that much at 6+ storytimes, but I love this theme so I still like to use it every so often!
