Our preschool storytimes this month were about grandparents, safety, dinosaurs, friends and apples. For grandparents, the children created cards for their grandparents and were very creative. During the safety storytime, the children learned how to use the 911 system. Laura found a coloring page that had a drawing of a phone which emergency numbers could be written onto. We handed out lots of safety-related brochures, pencils and bookmarks. The children made their own dinosaurs out of toilet paper rolls for our dinosaur storytime. Our friends craft was to color a paper chain of friends. The children decorated their own paper apples for our apples storytime. More than 150 people attended preschool storytimes in September.
On September 16, we had our Teen Henna program. This was our second time to have this program this year. The teens and parents enjoyed the different types of designs that they could create. One of the young ladies was having so much fun that she wanted to get the information on where we had purchased our supplies. She has decided to have a henna party for her upcoming birthday.
Regina is now heading the Tween Book Club which meets on the second Friday of the month. In September we read “Number the Stars” by Lois Lowry. We didn’t have quite as many attendees as we hoped, but we understand there may be timing issues with school. Our selection for October is “A Wrinkle in Time” by Madeline L’Engle. We are hoping that the participation will increase.
On September 24, a group of 14 children visited us from Primrose Daycare. They enjoyed storytime with us.
We are looking forward to the upcoming Toddler Time starting in October. This will be on every Monday at 10:30 a.m. and will end the last Monday in November.
