Children's Update: Freeport

The Freeport children are having the pleasure of different storytellers each week during preschool storytime. Dawn did one storytime six people. That was her last storytime as she has accepted a teaching position. The staff and the children will miss her.

Sherry presented a pumpkin theme. She had six people in attendance. She cut open a pumpkin for all to see and feel, and then each child decorated a mini-pumpkin to take home.

Yolanda had a storytime dealing with leaves. The children identified leaves and trees. She also brought real leaves for a craft. She had 11 people attending two storytimes.

Marge had a fun-type Halloween theme featuring songs, stories and guessing games. It ended with the puppet play “A Caring Sharing Halloween.” Yolanda helped present the show. Everyone seemed to have a good time. More than 20 people came to this program. We performed it in the children’s area because of early voting.

Marge went to Memorial Day Care as a judge for their fall wall decoration contest. It was a difficult job but fun!

Until a replacement is found for Dawn, we will be taking turns doing preschool storytimes. Another puppet play is scheduled for November. The children really enjoy the puppet plays.

There was a cauldron of goodies that were passed out to children who came to the library on Halloween.
