Children's Update: Angleton

Preschool storytime is using the Everyday Day in Every Way curriculum this year. In September, storytime themes were self-esteem and the five senses. In October, the weekly themes will be friends, feelings, fall and Halloween.

Our first Teen Wii event brought twenty-two people to the library. They did not want to leave. We are trying the next one on a Saturday morning to see which time is better. In December, we will try it on week night.

Sixteen people attended the Family Movie Day.

Angleton Christian School (ACS) has scheduled to bring classes to the library. A group of seventh and eighth grade students from ACS came September 22. Miss Emmy demonstrated how to use the library catalog and Internet. She then helped them get started on science fair projects.

The Early Childhood Center will start bringing classes the second Tuesday of each month beginning in October.

Miss Emmy is reading ghost stories to the Retired Teachers Association on October 2.

The next Kids Kraft will be October 6. We are making balloon eyeballs and spiders.

Family Movie Day will be October 24.

Teen Wii will be on October 31.

Angleton ISD has begun bringing students for vocational training from the high school. They are shelving books under the direction of an aide who comes with them. They stay about 30 minutes each time.

The new AWE computer came in this week. Mark and Layna set it up. Children flock to it after school and after storytime.
