Mystery Bag: What’s
inside the mystery box today? The object inside the box will give us a
clue what our story time is going to be about. (Object this week is box
of pasta)
Welcome. Every week, when kindergarteners come to visit
the library, we have a different theme. We’ve had story times about the
circus, pirates, and today our theme is pasta! We’ll sing songs, do
finger plays, read books (of course), tell jokes and do fun activities and
all of them will be about one of our favorite foods.

Resource

Strega Nona by Tomie de
Paola (Prentice-Hall, 1975.)
Before: A fable is a story where magical things can
happen, like talking animals, geese that lay golden eggs, or in this case, a
magical pot. Listen for things that don’t really happen in real life in
this story. Those are the things that
make it a fable.
During: Check for understanding of why Big Anthony can’t stop the pasta coming.
After: What
was the lesson Big Anthony learned? Do you think he’ll try to use that pasta
pot again?

Craft

Pasta
Necklaces. Dye
penne with food dye (all over the internet, but http://www.kidspot.com.au/kids-activities-and-games/Craft-activities+1/Make-coloured-pasta-jewellery+12049.htm
is where I looked. They recommend hand
sanitizer, but rubbing alcohol does the same thing. Vinegar slightly less so but more
economical.)
We made yarn w/masking tape tips like shoelaces, then taped
the necklaces to the table so they wouldn’t get away from our junior jewelers.
