Music & Movement 5/16/22

So for this week's story, I am getting a little bit of assistance from a storytelling MASTER, the one and only Eric Litwin!  If you visit his website www.ericlitwin.com you will find a treasure trove of coolness, including free downloads of songs and stories.  He is wonderful at bringing books and music together to create unique learning experiences.  I have long been a major fan.  Fun little fact about me, I got to dance on stage and sing a song with Eric Litwin!  I've probably mentioned this before.  I love sharing this little nugget of info, and I mention it whenever I can!  It's one of my favorite memories.  He presented at a conference I attended, and I was one of several volunteers chosen to go on stage!  Here's the proof!  The song was The Funky Chicken which I like to use in storytimes every now and then. :)

Happy Reading!  Here is this week's outline.
