Asking Questions About a Storybook

I have a silly silly story today! This old lady she likes to eat everything! And if you can remember–oh I’ll wait–but I got an old lady! And she is crazy. She loves to eat everything. Now think of the books we’ve read. Oh, keep your thoughts in. If you could think of something silly this lady has eaten, put your thumb on your tummy. What is something that she’s eaten? I bet I could almost call on everybody, because she has had some crazy things that she chosen to put into her mouth and her tummy. Vivi? What has she eaten that’s crazy? Roses. Well, she’s about to eat a rose. Should we eat a rose? No, not unless there’s chocolate inside! Cameron think about the past stories that we’ve read. What has this lady eaten? Chalk. She ate chalk. What else has she had? A sled. She ate a sled. Mason, do you remember something she ate? A pumpkin. Oh, keep your thoughts in if you had a turn! Mason, what’s something she’s eaten in the past? We’ve read a lot of her stories. Do you remember what she had, Skylar? Yeah, a pumpkin. She ate a pumpkin. Taylor do you remember something silly that this lady has eaten? A book. She ate a book. A bow. She ate a bow. She ate a bow like in Tayton’s hair! She would eat that. A boat! Oh, and she ate a boat. Well, let’s think. She ate the book, she ate a bow, and she ate a boat: all things that start with the sound…B- B- B- B-. But all things that we should eat? No, thank you. Skylar, what’s something she has eaten in the past?0:01:41.880,0:01:45.500 Boot. Did she eat a boot? Yeah, I think she did eat a boot. She eats about everything!

All right now, my friends, here’s your choice: you may lay on your tummy on your letter, or you may sit on your bottom. But we’re about to enjoy a nice book, and your job is to look, listen, learn, and love. But I will begin today…this way! No! What do you mean I don’t begin this way? Do I go from the back to the front? Oh, if I went to the back to the front, we wouldn’t learn the story in the right way! Everybody say, back cover! Show me how smart you are! What’s this? Spine! Where’s the spine on your body? Those bumpy bones! And if that’s back cover and that’s spine, what’s this? Front cover! And here’s the title: There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Rose. Oh my gosh, it’s written by Lucille Colandro and it’s illustrated by Jared Lee. I appreciate the way Mason’s ready to hear a story.

Here we go: There was an old lady who swallowed a rose. That would be spiky. You are correct. There was an old lady who swallowed some lace. She didn’t race to swallow that lace. Now, if you heard a word or two that rhymed, can you put your thumb in the air? Let me read that one more time, listen carefully: There was an old lady who swallowed some lace. She didn’t race to swallow that lace. Oh, I love how Adeline’s keeping it in. Adeline, did you hear words that rhymed? Would you like me to read it one more time? Listen carefully. There was an old lady who swallowed some lace. She didn’t race to swallow that lace. What were the rhyming words in there, Adeline? Race and lace. Can everybody say: race, lace. Do they sound the same? Now I’m gonna pick someone who can find the next one. Ready? Listening ears. She swallowed the lace to tie to the rose. I don’t know why she swallowed that rose. But that’s how it goes. Taylor, what was the rhyming word? Rose, foes are rhyming words and in the book it was rose and goes. Excellent! Excellent. It brought the old lady so much happiness that she smiled, laughed, and blew a big kiss to wish you a happy Valentine’s Day! The End. My librarian is Bodi. Bodi, please put a sticker on for a book that we read. And I want to show you a new trick. Everybody, put your hand to your lips, and blow a kiss. Now, if I blow you a kiss you have to catch it. You blow me a kiss, so I have to catch all these kisses and put them on my cheeks. But when I blow you a kiss, catch it. Catch it, put it on your cheek. Excellent.
