This document provides guidelines and the schedule for a storytime session. It includes reminders about distractions, allergies, illnesses, crying, talking, and tardiness. The storytime activities include name and action songs, learning the letter of the day, reading stories about fish and bubbles, and doing a cleanup song. The goal is to build children's print motivation and make reading a positive experience.

3. Distractions
Please silence your cell phone before
storytime. And please… no texting.

Please put toys away. They are a
distraction to your child and others.

4. Food
Food allergies are a serious concern.
As such, food and drink are prohibited
from storytime.

5. Illness
Germs spread fast. Please be respectful
and keep sick children and grownups at
home.

6. Crying
If your child is crying or otherwise
disturbing the group, please feel free to
step out for a moment and regroup.

7. Talking
We encourage networking with other
adults, but please save socializing until
after the program ends.

8. Tardiness
If you are not here when storytime
begins, we reserve the right to fill your
open spot on that day. Latecomers will
not be admitted.

in the bottom of the ocean.

21. Story Song
These are my glasses,

POP!

nine little bubbles;
Ten little bubbles go

28. Homework
Build print motivation by making
reading a positive experience. Don’t
force book sharing; if your child
doesn’t want to look at books, stop.
You can always try again later.

30. Goodbye Song
Goodbye, goodbye,
we’ll see you soon.
See you soon. See you soon.
Goodbye, goodbye,
we’ll see you soon;
Goodbye until next time!
