The number of the day is...

That's because we have only three Emergent Reader StoryTimes left before we go on break! Head over to the McMinnville Public Library on Tuesday May 4th, 11th, and 18th at 10:00 a.m. in the Carnegie Room to hear stories, make a craft, and munch on healthy snacks.

The only requirement is a love of books and fun!

Blooming Readers

I am so excited about the Tuesday, April 20th Emergent Reader StoryTime! Besides having a slew of great books to share with everyone, the kids are going to get their hands dirty planting peas and/or sunflower seeds. Last storytime was a lot of fun, using some simple materials (contact paper, construction paper, and tissue paper) the kids made colorful suncatchers. We read the hilarious books Wild Boars Cook by Meg Rosoff and Mouse Was Mad by Linda Urban. And we munched on yummy grapes and crackers.

If you haven't been to the Emergent Reader Storytime on Tuesdays there's still plenty of chances to come check out what all the commotion is about on Tuesday mornings. Spring storytime session runs through May 18th.

I saw lots of new faces again at storytime. Thanks to all the parents and preschoolers for joining the fun! See everyone on tuesday!

April showers bring...picture books!

At today's storytime kids made spring themed bracelets with pipe cleaners, beads, and bug foamies. We read the books Acorns Everywhere by Kevin Sherry and Milo Armadillo by Jan Fearnley. The kids snacked on oranges, cheese crackers, and apple slices, yummy!

I noticed several new readers at storytime today, thanks for joining our fun, creative, and book filled storytime!

Keep reading!

Birds!

Mark your calendars- The Emergent Reader Storytime spring schedule starts March 30th. Join us every Tuesday at 10 a.m. for books, crafts, and snacks. We will be kicking off storytime with the wonderful subject of birds. Bring your ears, fingers, and bellies as we make a bird feeder and read several books about birds.

The Emergent Reader Storytime is for preschoolers ages 4-6. And for all the parents out there, storytime is a great way to meet other book loving, crafty parents.

Join me every Tuesday, March 30th through May 18th.

Can't wait to see you!

Marching right along

This coming up story time Tuesday, March 2nd the kids will be making collages and I have lots of books to share and read. Last week the kids worked with large sheets of white paper and colorful pastels. A new twist on storytime, parents read books to their child in small circles. I had so many books to share so I asked parents to read and everything just worked out great.

There are two more emergent reader story times left until spring break. Storytime will resume Tuesday, March 30th. I look forward to seeing new faces!

happy happy valentine's day

Start stretching your fingers everyone because Tuesday, February 9th the Emergent Reader Storytime will have three different crafts. Preschoolers can make cards, necklaces, and banners all centered around Valentine's day. Whew!

I have the new Jan Thomas book Here Comes The Big, Mean, Dust Bunny! I can't wait to read this book with the kids. Plus, I have other great books to share.

I look forward to seeing you, it's going to be fun!
