Okay, so I have been subbing for a few of you (Andy, Rory). And after reading Jennifer's post, I was reminded of my first time subbing for Rory's babies. A mom approached the ST room and saw me greeting: "You mean MISS RORY's not HERE?!" It went downhill from there... I learned my lesson--next time I subbed for Andy, I asked him to PLEASE let them know that there would be a sub the following week. It seemed to work because no one sobbed when they saw me. (Sorry, Jennifer!) I seriously do think it helps, and as a sub, I appreciate it. These people are true creatures of habit. Don't mess with their storytellers.
I did "Owl Babies" with his group and they were mesmerized, especially with the Mama Owl puppet and her blinking eyes. They also enjoyed "Five Fat Sausages" clapping chant and Jim Gill's "Silly Dance Contest" with scarves.
I love reading all your ideas, triumphs and flops. I'm so happy to belong to such a creative and collaborative group.
QUESTION--Is it possible to get an RSS feed for this blog? I would be able to read it more readily. Thanks.

I bet we could get an RSS feed on here--bug me and Lori about it in person some day. And I agree that warning a group about a sub is a terrific idea--and one I never remember to use.
I modified five fat sausages to five little hotdogs this week and it was popular with the Ones. I didn't sizzle until the very last hot dog, "one little hot dog was frying in a pan, Sizzle, Sizzle, Sizzle Sizzle, and it went BAM!
