Toddler Storytime – Summer Week #4
This week by far, the kids liked Now I’m Big! by Karen Katz the best. Every time the story repeated “Now I’m Big!” we reached our hands up to the sky and the kids loved participating in this way. My non-fiction book for the week I Drive a Dump Truck did not go…

Mythology for Middle School
We hosted a mythology program on Monday night for our middle school students! And with 36 kids in attendance, it went really well! I created six different activities for the kids to rotate through. I have found stations lead to minimal boredom and problems within the groups. And I always try to…

Although a little crazy this morning, my books went over really well!

Toddler Storytime – Themeless and Fun!
I don’t know what was going on this morning, but my kids were absolutely amazing in storytime! They loved Mighty Dads (we created hand movements for each type of truck), loved saying “hello” to the pizza man and really boogied with Shake, Rattle, & Roll. Overall, the kids just did a great…

It is finally our last week of storytime (2 or 3 weeks longer than usual due to the weather) and I have two weeks off before starting back again for our spring session. After six weeks of choosing “my favorites” rather than choosing theme-related books, I can say it was…
