• Reflection - I don't get to do many preschool storytimes.  I feel like this was one of my best! It went so well and the kids looked like they were having so much fun. The only thing I would change is how I did the literacy activity. I would put some sort of iconic picture with the words for air, land, and water (like wavey blue lines next to the word water). I also forgot to print any water vehicles. Oops.
