Today we had fun with silly books about hair! I sported some silly hair myself just to get into it.<\/p>\n

Books We Read<\/h4>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Mustache Baby<\/a> by Bridget Heos is a funny book about a baby with a mustache, who is trying to find out whether he has a “good guy” mustache or a “bad guy” mustache. And like his mother says, “Everyone has a bad mustache day now and then”!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Stephanie’s Ponytail<\/a> by Robert Munsch is an old favorite of mine. The kids were great about helping me tell the story by remembering the mean classmates’ chorus of “ugly, ugly, very ugly” and Stephanie’s perennial response of “It’s my ponytail and I like it!”<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Since we had a pretty young crowd, I decided to top off my book choices with Book-o-Beards<\/a> by Don Lemke and Bob Lentz. It’s fun holding the book in front of my face and “wearing” each beard to become the different figures. (I’m such a klutz though, I get so into it, I actually bumped my nose pretty hard on the last page! That smarted!)<\/p>\n

Mr. Lou’s Mustache<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know a little monster named Mr. Lou,
\nHe had a mustache that grew, and GREW!
\nBy Monday, it was as tiny as his nose,
\nBy Tuesday, on and on it grows!
\nBy Wednesday, it stretched as far as his ears!
\nBy Thursday, it looked as if it had grown for years.
\nBut on Friday Mr. Lou caught the flu\u2026
\nACHOOOO!
\nand off went the mustache\u2014it flew and FLEW!<\/p>\n

Going to the Barber<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to the barber
\nto get a new haircut.
\nI want a brand-new style,
\nbut I can\u2019t decide on what.
\nShould I cut it like a clown\u2019s,
\nin a big red curly mop?
\nHow would it look all colored blue,
\nand puffy on the top?
\nHow about green with pointed bangs,
\nOr orange like a fire?
\nOr maybe something slick and black
\nlike a creepy old vampire?
\nI could put it up in pigtails
\nor a wild purple mane
\nOr maybe curls like goldilocks?
\nOr there\u2019s always brown and plain.
\nIt\u2019s so hard to choose a style
\nwhen you need a new hairdo.
\nMaybe you can tell me –
\nwhich one would you choose for you?<\/p>\n

Action Songs, Rhymes and Fingerplays We Shared<\/h4>\n

Five Fat Peas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Five fat peas in a pea pod pressed
\nOne grew, two grew, and so did all the rest
\nThey grew and they grew and they did not stop
\nUntil one day the pod went POP!<\/p>\n

Itsy-bitsy Spider<\/strong><\/p>\n

Itsy bitsy spider
\nClimbed up the waterspout;
\nDown came the rain
\nAnd washed the spider out;
\nOut came the sun
\nAnd dried up all the rain;
\nAnd the itsy bitsy spider
\nClimbed up the spout again.<\/p>\n

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star<\/strong><\/p>\n

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
\nHow I wonder what you are!
\nUp above the world so high,
\nLike a diamond in the sky.
\nTwinkle, twinkle, little star,
\nHow I wonder what you are!<\/p>\n

Video We Shared<\/h4>\n

We watched the video “Crazy Hair Day” based on the book<\/a> by Barney Saltzberg, exploring how young Stanley Birdbaum’s Crazy Hair Day goes from being exciting and fun to being completely humiliating, finishing as a day he certainly will never forget.<\/p>\n
