Buzz, Buzz, Buzz! Went Bumble-bee by Colin West

Introductory Aside: Narrative skills can be developed by having your children tell stories. This is easier for some children when they recognize patters so that they can predict what will happen next.
Book Aside: Before reading the book–AS we read the book we want to encourage them to recognize the pattern and to repeat “buzz, buzz, buzz” and “buzz off.”

Fingerplay: Here is the Beehive
     Here is the beehive. Where are the bees?  (Hold up fist.)
     Hidden away where nobody sees. (Move other hand around fist.)
     Watch and you’ll see them come out of the hive. (Bend head close to fist.)
     One, two, three, four, five. (Hold fingers up one at a time.)
     Bzzzzzzzz… all fly away! (Wave fingers.)
Closing Aside:  Children enjoy repeating phrases as they did in our book and song. Please help your children look for patterns in the books and songs you do at home. This helps foster narrative skills.
