Did you know the library has a preschool book collection?
Last year when the new school opened, I worked with Marybeth Kinkead (Preschool
Principal) and Linda Plachy (Child Growth Teacher) to establish a preschool
collection to be used for preschool teachers, preschoolers and high school
students in the child growth classes. The collection has grown considerably
this year and currently there are four preschool classes that come to the
library each week for story time with me. It is such a joy to read to the
preschoolers, teach them some library skills and see their excitement regarding
the books we read! Additionally, the high school students who are working in
the preschool class are able to observe what it is like to read out loud to
children, use the books for various projects they are completing in their
classes and choose books they would like to read out loud to the
preschoolers. It has truly been an
interdisciplinary union that has worked great for all involved! This week we
are reading:
 |
| Mr. Bungles has overslept and is going to be late for school! Teachers are never supposed to be late! Mr. Bungles tries every way to get to school on time but nothing works. |
|
 |
| Farmer Brown does not like Halloween but the animals on the farm sure do! He draws the shades and locks the door but down in the barn the Halloween Party has just begun! |
