Science of Superheroes ~ Flight
Last week was our second “Science of Superheroes” STEAM program focused around flight (and of course, gravity!). We started the program by reading aloud the first chapter of The Curse of the Bologna Sandwich by Greg Trine. This is the first book in the Melvin Beederman series and I love getting…

This was my last storytime of the summer! And I am excited to have a little bit of a break – focus my attention on finishing up all the summer programming and gearing up for the fall. This storytime went really well, the kids loved all the books, especially Hooray for…

Toddler Storytime – Summer Week #5
My storytime was very busy this week – so busy in fact that when I normally sit to read the stories, I had to stand to make sure everyone could see. Families loved Cha-Cha Chimps and helped during the repeated phrase, but I was surprised that Choo Choo Clickety Clack! didn’t go…

Yoga Storytime – Summer Week #5
The kids didn’t really get The Day the Crayons Quit but they still had fun yelling out the colors and the drawings on each page. This book is very much geared toward an older (elementary school age) audience. They really had a lot of fun with Foxy and kept giggling when…

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…

Toddler Storytime – Summer Week #2
It was one of those days with a HUGE crowd for storytime, most had registered while some families just popped in at the last moment. All was going well until a child threw up on the stairs of our storytime room (we have stadium style rows). Being that this was…

Yoga Storytime – Week #2
The kids really loved our books this week! We had such a fun time reading and interacting. There has been such a positive response, that we actually opened a second class, so now I have two yoga classes back-to-back which can be a little hectic, but our patrons were very…

Yoga Storytime – Summer Week #1
My storytimes for the summer officially started yesterday and we have so many people on our waiting list, I’ll be doing my Yoga Storytime back-to-back. The room we use for our program isn’t very large, so we decided to smaller classes would be the best way to handle the class.…
