[Notes and Responses 12-12-12: I didn't finish putting this together until the night before and came up short on movement. I had a horribly stiff neck the day of and this is our last week of programming and it's really chaotic and...meh, I don't know that parents noticed and everyone had a good time, but it was pretty low-key (except for R and the wolves vs. squirrels, which was hilarious)]
Dancing time and name tags: "The tempo marches on" on Jim Gill sings Do Re Mi on his Toe Leg Knee
Introduction, welcome, and announcements: Santa's Kitchen, programs end.
Early Literacy Theme: Print Awareness is knowing that print has meaning, how to handle a book, and noticing print all around
Opening name song: The more we get together
Early Literacy Aside: Our first story has several repeated words. Looking for refrains in books as you read aloud is a great way to increase print awareness.

Movement: We're going on a bear hunt by Michael Rosen
Nonfiction: Under the snow by Melissa Stewart
Short story: Very Hairy Bear by Alice Schertle
Short story: Old Bear by Kevin Henkes
