On 9-24-14, Ms. Kim read to the children at Ms. Pat’s and Ms. Donna’s childcare centers. The “1,2,3…the Story is Coming to Me” program encourages children to read and informs them and their families of the services provided by the library. Ms. Kim read books about waking up and getting ready in the morning. Then each child was given a book of their own to include in their home libraries.
In observance of elephant appreciation day, we learned about elephants this morning. We made elephant toothpaste with hydrogen peroxide, soap, yeast and water. It was awesome! Then we made floppy elephant hats. Thank you Lydia for reading today!
Today we kicked off our tenth year of the collaborarive artwork project between the library and local school systems. Gainesville Head Start’s artwork is on display from September 22 through October 4. Come see it! #youngartists #artwork #handprints
Ahoy, landlubbers! We learned how to talk like a pirate today with Captain Kim. We used a treasure map to find the hidden treasure. Along the way we read about pirates, made a pirate hook, learned the pirate ABC’S and learned that some objects sink while others float. Happy talk like a pirate day lads and lassies!
This morning our children’s class learned about monkeys! They practiced counting monkeys and sang about monkeys jumping on the bed. Then they drew silly monkey faces.
