Last week’s children’s class celebrated Thanksgiving by reading books about food. Ms. Kim chose “Counting to bananas : a mostly rhyming fruit book” and a bilingual book, “I’m hungry! = Tengo hambre!”, which are both on the 2023 Texas 2×2 Reading List. The complete 2023 Texas 2×2 Reading List was purchased thanks to a 2023 Texas Book Festival Collections Enhancement Grant. #txlibrarygrant #CCLchildrensclass #earlyliteracy #EducateEngageEnrich

The library hosted a STEM program at the Vilott Homeschool. The students learned about various types of robots. Then they created their own robotic hand.

We wrapped up the “123 the Story is Coming to Me” program for this semester with a visit to Vilott Homeschool. The kids read about gathering for Thanksgiving and enjoying all of the food and family.   Each child was given a book thanks to Hector Flores, Modern Woodmen of America .   #earlyliteracy #CCLcommunityoutreach #123thestoryiscomingtome

The “123 the Story is Coming to Me” program visited KidCare Learning Center. The kids learned about the library and explored a book about a librarian who was a mouse! Thanks to Hector Flores, Modern Woodmen of America each child was given a book of their own to add to their collection.

This week the children’s classes read books and learned about being thankful for family. Each child made a depiction of their own families.
