Naughty or Nice? Bedtime: December 11-12, 2017

Books:
Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed by Eileen Christelow *
Froggy Goes to Bed by Jonathan London
How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night? by Jane Yolen
Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat, Are You Going to Sleep? by Bill Martin Jr.
Llama Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney *
No Sleep for the Sheep! by Karen Beaumont *

Craft: Standing Sheep
This week's craft was based on the picture at left with a few changes.  The kids were given a sheep's head and cotton balls to glue to a recycled CD.  Two clothespins were then attached to the bottom to make the sheep stand.

Literacy Extensions:
- A lot of these books go through bedtime rituals before the characters go to sleep.  Talk with your child about the rituals they go through before bed.  Have them try to list all the rituals in order they do them each night.
- Bedtime is a great time to read stories together.  Make sure to pick books that will calm your child rather than get them excited.
