We had a special children’s class on 6/16/15. Our guest was Storytime Theater. They performed “The True Story of Jack and the Beanstalk.” Thank you to North Central Texas College for letting us use the Little Theater! 
Yesterday Kelly the clown from Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey circus visited. He performed mant tricks and told us about the circus. Thanks to North Central Texas College for the use of your Little Theater! 
Ms. Kim & other library staff visited the Boys & Girls Club of Cooke County this morning. This was the first of three classes. Today’s topic was camouflage. We participated in an experiment about green and yellow frogs and then created our own camo design. #boysandgirlsclub #youthcenter #STEM #cookecounty #Texas #CCLcommunityoutreach #camo #camouflage

Batman visited with a Bat-Bang today. He read a book about Batman saving the day. He also discussed that there are more heroes than the super ones. Doctors, parents, librarians, and especially teachers are all heroes in today’s world! #CCLchildrensclass #CCLsummer2015 #batman #heroes 
Today was our first class in a series of new classes called Building Tots. The children learned about colors and then sorted their blocks by color. They were allowed to free build at the end of the class.
Yesterday was our Summer Reading Kickoff. Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Kim read about different heroes. We practiced our superhero moves and drew a picture of our hero. 
Wow! We can’t believe how many books our young readers can read! Ms. Donna’s and. Ms. Pat’s preschoolers just completed reading 400 books to finish up their school year. 
If you go down to the library today, you’re in for a big surprise! We had a teddy bear picnic with our favorite animals today. Then we sorted our animals by size and type. For our craft we colored and created a bear paw print.
