Figure That!


Thanks to all the preschoolers and their parents for attending the first Emergent Reader story time for the fall season (Tuesday, September 14th).
The kids sculpted figures and shapes with air dry clay. I noticed a lot of the parents getting into the activity as well; I think clay is simply irresistible.

I shared some terrific books with the kids. A big hit was More Life Size Zoo by Teruyuki Komiya. If you don't know about the Life Size Zoo books, run, okay walk, to the nearest computer and look them up. You will not be disappointed.

Another fanastic book Camouflage Clues by Megan Cooley Peterson. Camouflage Clues is a new animal camouflage hide-and-seek book. This book is fun and if you've never seen an Asian Horned Frog, you're in for a treat.

One story time down, nine more to go! The Emergent Reader Story Time runs through November, 16th so run, okay walk to the McMinnville Public Library for fun and of course books!

Story Times Are Back!











Come join the fun every Tuesday, September 14th through November 16th. The Emergent Reader Story Time is a fun place where I get to share my love of books and my love of making crafts, with preschoolers and their parents. We meet at 10:00 a.m. in the Carnegie Room and story time is always free! If you have a four, five, and/or six year old that loves books and making crafts then this is the place to be on Tuesday mornings.
I look forward to seeing everyone.
