Well, it's been quite a week since last time we were able to post here. Friday, we couldn't open because of power outages across the District, and Monday and Teusday were very busy indeed! Even our plans for today went somewhat awry, since we couldn't find out coloring books or the stories we wanted to tell. We made up for it with two fun replacements. After getting our wiggles out by singing the Hokey Pokey, we read "Leaf Man", by Lois Ehlert, and "Silly Sally", by Audrey Wood.
"Leaf Man" is an excellent story to read to small children. Each page contains pictures of animals, plants and places, all made out of a variety of fallen leaves. The kids were really great at pointing out all the things that were hidden on the pages, even pointing out things I missed the first time reading it.
As it turns out, the preschool already owns a copy of "Silly Sally", and they were very excited to hear it here at the library. In fact, they knew the story so well that some of them were able to read it right along with me, and tell me what was going to happen next! To cap it off, we watched the first half of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", which we will be continuing in two weeks.
Next week we will definitely be having a Dinosaur Day. Miss Robinson has been working all week long on a pair of collages for the children, with a wide variety of pictures and names of dinosaurs for them to learn about. We will have coloring, stories and activities all related to those ancient animals.
Then, exactly two weeks from today on July 2nd, we will have the National Opera here in Sursum to perform "Madame Butterfly".
Looking forward to an exciting couple of weeks,
~Nick H.
