Cowboys!

This Outreach Storytime was presented at Welcome School on September 26, 2014 and at Golden Hills Head Start on September 29, 2014.


Books:

This Old Band by Tamera Will Wissinger, illustrated by Matt Loveridge


Let's Sing a Lullaby With the Brave Cowboy by Jan Thomas



Trot Ol' Joe

Trot Ol' Joe.  Trot Ol' Joe.

You ride better than any horse I know.
Trot Ol' Joe.  Trot Ol' Joe.
You're the best horse in the country-o.
Whoa... Joe!


Here is a fun video I found featuring the song "Trot Ol' Joe.  We had fun singing this song, although we did NOT do the part where we all fall backwards. We were sitting too close together to do this part of the song without bumping heads!  You might like to try this at home, where you have more room to pull back on the reins and yell, "Whooooooa!"





 




Each Outreach Storytime includes activities that support one or more of the five early literacy practices identified as essential in helping your child develop the skills they need before they can learn to read. The five practices – singing, talking, reading, playing and writing –were developed for Every Child Ready to Read®, an initiative of the Association for Library Services for Children (ALSC) and the Public Library Association (PLA).  Every Child Ready to Read® @ your library®, PLA and ALSC logos are registered trademarks of the American Library Association and are used with permission.
