Chugga chugga

What kid doesn't like trains? Trains are big and fast and loud and they whistle and they carry stuff and they're just plain cool and amazing. So for our 7th (or 8th?) week of Story Hour, our theme was trains. And, in honor of trains, we created our very own "library train". Each kid was given a ticket at the beginning of Story Hour and after we did our stretches and read our story, we jumped on the library express and chugga chugga'd around the library. Again, not the quietest library activity but since when was Story Hour quiet? The stories we read were "Chugga Chugga Choo Choo" and "Train Song", and we made noodle trains (glued pastas onto constuction paper).
