Mermaids

Thanks for checking out the children's room blog. The Emergent Reader story time is for preschoolers ages 4-6. We kicked off our fall schedule on September 15th with a school theme. The kids worked on animal sewing cards, snacked on orange slices and crackers, and listened to several books about school, including Always In Trouble by Corinne Demas, a funny story about a dog named Toby that gets into trouble and has to go to dog-training school.

The theme for next week's storytime is Mermaids! We will be making paper mermaid dolls and reading books about mermaids, including the ones pictured above. If you love books and making things with your hands, please come join the fun at the McMinnville Public Library.
