We have begun a new series for preschool storytime, “All About …” The first week was apples, and we made an apple counting book. Next came bears with a bear lacing card. We celebrated Mexican Independence Day on September 16 by reading “Magda’s Tortillas” by Becky Chavarria-Chairez. Our clerk, Magda, helped the children make their own tortillas which was great fun. The adults enjoyed it as much as the children. PBS provided the DVD for our “Dinosaur Train” storytime. We watched one of the series’ episodes which is broadcast regularly on PBS. The children really enjoyed the show. The last theme was “All About Cats” presented by Carmen, our clerk, as Ms. Jo was on vacation in Colorado.
We have been having a lot of interaction with a new crop of teens now that the new school year has begun. We hope to have some great programming for them soon.
Headstart has moved it’s classrooms to Sweeny, so I no longer have the opportunity to read to them. I’ll miss the students.
We are looking forward to storytimes, bedtime stories, and movies about fall, harvest and Halloween. We are also planning a pumpkin decorating contest for October.
