Reading is Thinking!

今天讀了 "Chryanthemum"這一本關於名字的書,讓我聯想到另一本我也喜愛的書"Tikki Tikki Tempo",每一次帶孩子們閱讀時總會提到每個人的名字都是獨一無二的,但總是會被吐槽...菜市場名,算命算的都一樣等等...其實英文名又何嘗不是呢?到處可見的Ivy,Mary,David....(sorry,無意貶低各位)所以最好能告訴孩子關於他/她名字來源的小故事,雖然現在改名字很方便,但是想想要將一個陪伴自己很久的老朋友遺棄,真是令人不捨呀~

Chryanthemum雖然名為菊花,但是其中父母親充滿了滿滿的愛與關懷為孩子命名,怎奈同學的嘲諷與欺凌,讓原本開心上學的小老鼠Chryanrhemum失落的放學回家找安慰.....


Tikki Tikki Temp則是諷刺中國傳統重視大兒子而取了個長長的名字表示隆重,怎知這樣的名字卻讓去求救的弟弟吃足了苦頭,差點延誤了救哥哥的時間....

(我通常會請小朋友玩命名~幫忙麥當勞的漢堡取名如無敵香酥Q嫩海辣雙層牛肉起士蔬菜堡.....然後請其他小朋友連續唸個5次,然後互相pk,好玩極了)你也可以試試囉~

Night of the Gargoyles

Night of the Gargoyles 夜晚的吐水怪

今天讀了這一本很驚豔的書,原因除了作者與彙者都是我很喜愛的圖畫書界的大人物外, 今天上午剛上完了永康老師的怪獸課,益發覺得怪獸真是可愛呀.....偏偏這本書中的怪獸非常得與眾不同,如此的人性化,又帶著神秘感....一口氣讀完它就想立刻上網訂購...可惜我要的是英文版,看來得要好好找一找啦~分享給大家囉.....(我聯想到中國古代建築或是廟宇好像也有怪獸???)

(以下資料來源:博客來網路書店)

吐水怪，一種設在建築屋簷的排水管，因外觀通常以人類或動物雕像作為裝飾而得名。夜晚來臨了，這些栩栩如生、似人似獸的吐水怪，紛紛從高處攀爬下來，探視著房子裡的光景、嘲笑著人類心裡的恐懼，直到黎明自天際升起。

11/01 It looked like spilt milk

I use the sign language to present this book which I refered from Youtube and I love the sing language, too. I remember that I learned it since I were still a college student.

Contents:

1. present the sige language of animals mentioned inside first and teach Ss how to do it.

2. Storytelling (acting while the animal showing up)

3. Activity: (use 2 hands)

3-1 Basic ....turtle, turtle move~ (same as Chinese game) ~use fingers

3-2 Advanced...........crodile crodile up/down/right/left ~use palms

This game is very easy to play and Ss like to PK Ivy which have a lot of fun.....

p.s.

I also use the same game to present another story book "little croc and bird".

The bird taught the little croc how to make friends with the others "treat them nicely, warmly and no teasing" then the little croc learned a lesson and finally won the friendship from the animals but....

10/26 An unlucky day for Ivy

This was a bad day for me since I had a car accident and broken my ring finger! Poor Ivy!

It's quite hard to use only right hand to do everything including shower, key-in, riding my motocycle....etc. The doctor said that I should rest at least 3 months. Can you image that? Wow....

So, I think I have enough spare time to update my blog and recommand more interesting story books for all.

GoGoGo....

假期結束~上工啦

好像很久沒有在國內過暑假了,今年因諸多原因取消了原訂的美國行程留在國內,卻被熱到整天都懶洋洋的,唉,不知道是人年紀大咧還是天氣實在太熱啦...

雖然留在國內,可也沒閒著,除了送 James去高雄參加百年亞太區團軍大露營外,James上了五週的國一暑輔(第一週請假)................做媽的當然天天接送~就把原來已經不太白的皮膚曬的更黑啦,真是犧牲頗大~

為了把握最後假期,安排了一趟日本北海道之旅,3天台南之行,日子過的也挺充實的,最重要的當然是也為了英繪志工的孩子們開了為期一個月共四堂英語讀書會~感謝大朋友小朋友的熱列捧場喲~教學相長,Ivy也算有讀書喔!!

接下來,Ivy會將四堂課所介紹的書po上來給大家參考一下囉~
7/21 - An Exordinary Egg
- Six Cows
7/28 -Wild about books
8/11 - Tikki Tikki Tempo
- Friends
8/25 - Curious George
- Grafflo

敬請期待喔~
當然還有其他好看的書也會儘快po上來喔~

Borka

John Burmingham 的Borka是他的第一本書,上周六到市圖萬華說故事剛好選了這一本書(中文版), 故事中的寶兒讓人憐惜, 雖然聰明的鴨媽咪幫寶兒做了一件毛背心讓寶兒穿,但是種種的不方便,卻讓寶兒終究在學習領域上落後同儕...但是,不怕不怕,Borka長大了,也有了自己的選擇,走上了不同的道路卻也為自己的人生開出不一樣的花朵....It's amazing.

到市圖來的孩子大多是學齡前或是低年級,有時會穿插幾位中高年級,在選故事題材是有時就會增加了一點難度,不過Borka ~"穿背心的野鴨寶兒"這本書內容還蠻能夠cover這些range的, 一來John Burmingham的水彩畫風生動易懂,文字內容清楚表達概念又貼近生活,尤其是寓教於樂,善於以孩子的觀點來描寫人生,常常是大人愛不釋手再轉介書給孩子,我覺得是親子共讀很不錯的選擇~ 其他作品: Grandpa / Mr. Gumpy's Outing/ALDO/Hey, Get out of our train (這一本也很棒喔...下次來介紹一下)敬請期待

Marvin Gets MAD!

Marvin Gets MAD! (provided by 海山國小Terry媽咪)

Look at the Marvin, he is very angry at his good friend Molly. But why? You will never ever thought about that tenderly sheep will grow MAD teeth, MAD horns, MAD feet, and a MAD tail. What a lovely story! I did read some stories talking about "angry" but they are almost "kids" like as "When sophie gets angry", "Angry Arthur" , " Alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, " Where the wild things are" , now Joseph Theobald gave us a fantastic charactor - Marvin the sheep whose behaviors are more close to the young kids.

Activity: (props: flash cards of fruit and colors)
1. warm up: fruit and colors
1-1.What kind of fruit is red? yellow? brown? green? purple? pink? white?
1-2.What is your favorite fruit? or What fruit do you like to eat?

2. Story telling.

3. Q & A :
3-1 Why Molly eat the Marvin's apple?
3-2 Did Marvin feel angry?
3-3 What happen to Marvin when he gets really, really angry?
3-4 Who found Marvin and lead him back?
3-5 What can you do if you feel angry?

4. Song: If you happy and knew it, clap your hands

(many different versions, just choose easy one)

Thank you, Terry, this is a interesting book. I like it.

子們竟然沒有聽過這本書????為什麼呢????想不通?可能是因為沒有中譯本吧!

My lucky Day

My lucky Day 是本週我在後埔說的story,選擇這本書是因為情有獨鍾,
在5年前開始說故事時,就接觸到的書,因為太多很棒的書可以當題材,
就沒再講過這一本,有一天偶然在新北市圖找書時又看到了"它",就
好像見到老朋友一般親切,於是決定請小豬跟狐狸再次上場......

先show出我的picture book cover page給Ss, then ask Ss "What
animal do you see?" 大部份回答是"小豬與狼"?? 封面上是"狼"wolf嗎?
大家言之鑿鑿,連我也開始懷疑了????

哈哈哈,很像啦,不是 "Red riding hood" or "Three little pigs"裡的
big bad wolf. It's more like the book "Rosie's walk"或是"Hungry hen"裡頭
那兩隻超"糗"的fox狐貍啦....(印象中fox應該很聰明呀,像電影狐狸與我...)

一開場, Mr. Fox 一邊開心的磨亮他的爪子,一邊讀著如何獵食好吃的食物
(讀書耶....難怪聰明..)正準備出去獵食晚餐,突然出現的聲音讓Mr. Fox可是
滿臉"狐疑"????怎麼聽起來會是最美味"食物"~~~"pig"的聲音???

接下來Mr. Fox 不費吹灰之力就將送上門來的小豬豬給它"手到擒來",
Mr. Fox真覺得今天是自己超幸運的"Lucky Day",準備大顯身手一番,
接著一場鬥智的精采戲碼就上演了....我們的髒小豬到底能不能逃過
這一劫難呢?過程處處充滿驚奇,圖片中可看到狐狸眼神的精明,小豬
眼神的無辜....時間一分一秒的過去,小豬危在旦夕.....
(接下來到底發生什麼事,自己去看囉...............結局非常令人捧腹喔..)

搭配的Activity: (因時間有限,實際操作為精簡版)
1. Q: How to show the words " Good Luck" to your friend with fingers?
A:Cross your "pointer" and "tall man" fingers...and you can do it by
both of your hands that means "double lucky".

2. Bingo game (some papers/number balls 1-15 pick 9 )
Rules : First line ~ S raises hand and calls " I love Ivy."
Second line: ................"I love my mom."
Third line: .................." Bingo!"
p.s. (the rules can be changed by any slogan~ it depends.)

Keiko Kasza 是日本人後來到美國讀書, 有許多插畫家受到Leo Lionni
大師(就是小黑魚,一寸蟲...的插畫家,屢屢得到國際大獎,受到愛戴)的
啟發開始創作的歷程, Keiko Kasza也是欣賞他的 Frederick就喜歡上
繪本並從事業餘的創作.... (也許下一個是你喔??)

Keiko Kasza說當她創作時就把自己當作是書中的角色,有時是找尋媽媽
的飛鳥或是想要留下美好印象給女朋友的小豬.....一切都有趣極了...

當然她的作品得到了大獎也暢銷到許多國家,我欣賞的是她的幽默,畫風
清朗,眼神唯妙唯肖,讓小朋友能夠很快進入角色,故事又生動有趣,每每聽
到孩子的笑聲,我覺得, Keiko Kasza妳真棒....
官網連結,希望你也能認識她~ Keiko Kasza, 她有許多作品都是說故事的
好選擇喔...Enjoy!

Happy Mother's Day

Dear all mommies,

Here is a book can be introduced to your kids named "Is Your Mama a Llama?"written by Deborah Guarino, illustrated by Steven Kellogg.

Lloyd the llama meets all kinds of animals as he asks his question, until at last his friend Llyn leads Lloyd to the answer he longs to hear! The most interesting part is about matching the mother - baby animals, kids can recongize the baby animals then of course their mothers. I like this book...so sweet...You can almost feel the love from mother's eyes when they hug or look at the babies. Don't miss it in the such great DAY.

Do you like to walk home alone?

中外作家還蠻喜歡在小朋友"回家"這條路上安排許多驚險的刺激
或是奇遇,知名作家的繪本如英國超現實派插畫家Anthony Browne
安東尼布朗的"The tunnel", 日本林明子的"森林迷藏王", 英國John
Burningham約翰伯明罕的"The boy who was always late"都有好
許多的冒險及趣味,當然我今天介紹給小朋友的"On the way home"
by Jill Murphy可是讓我相當有"fu"的呢~

Story : On the way home by Jill Murphy
Summary:
Claire had a bad knee cause she fell down from swing when
she played in the playground but she met some friends one after
one, she told them not only one version interesting story but also
many kinds of different fantastic adventures. (We knew that were
all her imaginations, kids love them.)


Activity:
1. Preview the cover page, teach the animal's name/sound
Do/copy the actions.....

2. Practice the Q&A :
Q: "What do you see in the picture?
A: "I see a/an _____(animal's name or....)
If the kids speak English well, you can ask single S to come
in front of book and point out what he saw then all Ss ask
the Q, the single S answers and do the action.
(or make the sound). If they were not, you can make Q then
Ss make A.
3. Don't forget to create a gesture for Claire of the word "Well~~~~" When I said that, all kids knew that another funny animal would be shown up and they liked to copy my prounciation of it.
甘巴爹....米那桑, Enjoy the story...oh...no, the adventures.

P.S. Jill Murphy's great books
The worst witch series
大象家族~ A piece of cake Five mintues' peace A quite night in

Pigeon series

這可是一隻精力旺盛,宇宙超聰明的鴿子,常常跟我們鬥志又鬥力,一會兒哭哭鬧鬧,一會兒還會義正辭嚴的講道理...為的就是"達到目的,不擇手段",有小孩的媽一定會覺得這隻鴿子簡直就是小孩的翻版耶,說起故事來一定會更有fu,因為那都是媽媽跟孩子間的共同經驗呢~ Part 1. Don't let the piegon stay up late

part 2. When the piegon finds a hot dog

(by Mo Willems)

會選擇這兩本書做兩次分享,因為part1,小鴿子最後終於疲憊不堪

睡著時做的夢就是"享用hot dog大餐",所以你知道What is the

Pigeon favorite food? The answer is "Hot dog".

我是一人分飾不同的角色來演出這系列繪本,所以聲音的定調很重

要,確定了不同的角色聲音後,即可有不錯的發揮囉!

故事結束後,我會教小朋友畫鴿子(網路有教學影片),再請小朋友寫

下一句鴿子不可以做的事(其實是媽媽不讓他做的事),再逐一分享~

The odd egg

在繪本故事中總有許多關於鴨子的故事,不知道為什麼外國人那麼喜歡以鴨子來當主角呢?如唐老鴨最具代表,我也介紹過精彩鴨,例如:

Duck on a bike (David Sharon) ~ 就是No, David系列作者

Duck for president (Betsy Lewin) 就是click, clack...系列繪者

Famer duck (農夫鴨)

上次介紹過的Emily Gravett 也出了一本有趣的The odd egg,

每一隻鳥媽媽都生了蛋,只有鴨子沒有??為什麼??

有一天鴨子撿到了一顆蛋,很大,但是鴨子覺得那可是世界上

最美麗的蛋(每隻媽媽..喔,不不不,每個媽媽也都覺得自己的小

孩最可愛,不是嗎?)

經過千辛萬苦的努力,終於孵出了令人意想不到的動物呢??

The odd egg (by Emily Gravett)

1. Story telling (take a ball as the egg)

Ask Ss to help hatching the egg.

2. draw an egg with imagination (I will show you the picture.)

Kids love to share their own egg.

Blue Chameleon

這是最近介紹過給孩子的書, Emily Gravett多才多藝,創意十足,書中

並無太多文字,但是寂寞的變色龍為了找到好朋友,對每一次碰到的

"新朋友"都想盡辦法變得跟對方一樣!!

小朋友問:為什麼變色龍那麼笨?那明明是襪子呀?還跟它打招呼!!

透過各種顏色,形狀,"物品或生物",在最後終於皇天不負苦心"龍",

讓它找到了跟它可以match的好朋友....那是誰呢?猜一猜?

這繪本最令我讚賞的是那特殊處理的一頁...."white page", Wow!!

多麼別出心裁的設計....你一定不能錯過~其他作品也是赫赫有名,

有機會要收藏呀....

Emily Gravett 網站也很特別喔! 當然網路上也有很多人介紹她囉~

Handa's surprise

這是我一本我強力推薦的繪本,畫面鮮明,故是節奏穩定,小朋友一下子就融入非洲大草原中跟著monkey, giraffe, elephant... 動物一起偷偷的叼走小女孩Handa 辛苦準備要去看好朋友Akeyo 的水果籃中的各種水果....小女孩都沒有注意到耶?小朋友會問這是為什麼呢??原來Handa一直在想"Akeyo會喜歡那一種水果呢?"

Handa's surprise (by Eileen Browne )

1. Story Telling

2. Review animal and fruit names

3. Game: Matching game (make a big bingo board and stuck on pictures)

Game: Who is fast? (some plastic fruit props/big paper plate)

Divid Ss into 4 teams, put the paper plate on Ss head then racing.

Kids love it. Wonderful~

4. Here is the film for it. Enjoy! (Handa's surprise)

(Handa's surprise song)

Farmer duck

Farmer duck ~ 一聽就知道是隻苦命的鴨子, Farmer? How come? Where is the real farmer? 小朋友一直替 famer duck打抱不平,說農夫只知道吃東西都不工作... 這隻農夫鴨怎麼聽起來好像家裡的"某個人"呢?大家都異口同聲的說那不就是"媽咪"嗎?? 這些小孩還知道家裡超辛苦的媽咪就是那可憐的小鴨鴨,那懶惰的農夫就是說家裡的 "誰"呀????哈哈哈~
Story : Farmer duck Martin Waddel

Activies:
1. Story telling (動物叫聲Moo, Baa, Cluck,Quack)
Q: "How goes the work? A: "Quack"小朋友朗朗上口!

Old Madonald had a farm (可愛動物版)

Ellen Stoll Walsh

Ellen Stoll Walsh為mouse設計了許多生動有趣的作品 mouse count mouse paint mouse shapes balancing Act Hop, Jump Dot and Jabber .... 除了上次介紹的的mouse count外,Ivy還非常喜歡另一本mouse paint有關於色彩的繪本喔~有機會欣賞這為童心未泯的作者可別錯過了!!

mouse count

這是一本給小朋友數數字的繪本,除了讓小朋友

count from 1 to 10, 最後還可以讓小朋友做count

from 10 to 1的練習...只不過小朋友好像比較focus

在我的"彈珠"上耶...

Story: Mouse Count (by Ellen Stoll Walsh)

Activities:

1. Story telling~with props (snake,marbles,jar)

2. Game 1: How many marbles in the jar?

Ss close eyes then Ivy put the marble into the

jar one after one and ask Ss to guess.

3. Game 2: Who is fast?

Prepare paper plates and chopsticks for

2 teams competion.

4. Song: Ten little Indian Mice

They are really enjoy!! Well done.

brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?

果陀的14堂最後星期二的課~強力推薦

上週六3/5晚上7:30我跟我的"阿娜答"去欣賞了果陀最新的舞
台劇"14堂最後星期二的課"由金士傑及 卜學亮兩人演出!

出發前先問了一位朋友看的心得如何,獲得的回應似乎不是熱
烈 (她有先讀了書),本來有點受影響,不是抱 著太大的期望,也
許是因為我們坐在第7排,可以一覽演員們臉上的表情,配合著
劇情,我竟然超感動,整場 留下了兩次眼淚......

我們是第一次看金先生的舞台劇,卻一下就被震攝住了,他真
的好棒, 全身的細胞都是戲,一舉手一投足,都 令我無法將目
光移開,特別是"聲音",可能繪本帶久 了,常需要聲音變換角色,
我覺得了金先生的聲音將感情活脫脫的呈現出來,真是棒極了...

當然卜學亮也進步很多,但是聲音與姿態還有空間再努力,
強力推薦給你喔~ (也許是我沒先看書,沒有預設立場,才會
超感動滴,who knows?)

新繪本媽媽的熱情第一站

本週四雅芬跟Terry媽媽就要到208上場了,看著
她們認真的準備,從選書->閱讀->活動設計->
動手作->排演....修正....務必要達到最完美的
境界,這種精神實在太感動我啦...很用力的給
你們拍拍手....這一路上陪著你們,覺得你們勞
心又勞力的為小朋友設計活動............海山的
小朋友..."福氣啦" !!

Ivy 衷心的祝福兩位越戰越勇........加油~

Ivy的故事時間~海山高中附設幼稚園月亮班

因緣際會,因應了樓上鄰居的邀請,在海高附幼說故事也快要一年了,
這裡的老師非常用心的幫Ivy及同學們留下了許多身影及回憶...

想到初進班時,那些小小孩怯生生的臉孔看著Ivy,一副如臨大敵般
的架勢,到畢業前與Ivy的深情擁抱....一直令Ivy難忘,也是讓Ivy
可以努力下去的動力耶....

目前的班級是全新的學生, 一樣的稚嫩,雖然又要重頭開始培養感情,
可是在老師的全力配合下,看到小朋友一次次的進步與親近,或是期
待故事時間的來臨,Ivy覺得自己很幸福呢~

謝謝小朋友給Ivy機會服務.....我也會繼續加油跟搞笑喔~

好伙伴們也可以點進"月亮媽媽說故事"的標題裡,欣賞我們的互動喔~
