Best of 2017 Story Time: January 16, 2017

Books:
The Bad Seed by Jory John *
Mosquitoes Can't Bite Ninjas by Jordan P. Novak *
Sloppy Wants a Hug by Sean Julian *


Craft: Ninja
This week's craft was based on the picture at left.  The children were given a half sheet of cardstock with just eyes to color.  They then glued the sheet into a tube.  A pipe cleaner was twisted around the center of the tube for a belt.  A coffee stirrer was then slipped into the belt for the ninja's staff.

Literacy Extensions:
- In Mosquitoes Can't Bite Ninjas, the ninja fights off a mosquito with chopsticks.  Practice hand-eye coordination and hand dexterity by learning how to use chopsticks.  Try picking up various objects with the chopsticks.
- After reading The Bad Seed, try some sunflower seeds.
