Valentine's Day Story Time
Painting rocks was lots of fun, but get ready for Tuesday, February 8th's story time because the entire story time will be devoted to Valentine's Day. We are going to make Valentine cards, snack on cookies, and read Valentine stories.
Last week we readGuido Van Genechtens book, No Ghost Under My Bed. Read the book to find out if this little penguin actually has a ghost in his room, conveniently at bedtime. Want to see a cute Sumatran orangutan baby or how about a baby aardvark named Amani? Then check out Zoo Borns! by Andrew Bleiman and Chris Eastland.
We also read, Where The Wild Things Areby Maurice Sendak . A rumpus, a king, and wild things. It does not get much better than that!
Early literacy is what children 0-5 years of age know about reading and writing before they can actually read or write. Research shows reading to your young child is one of the most important activities you can do with them. And it's fun too!
