STORY TIME


Story Time Mission

Our mission is to promote early literacy, pre-reading, and pre-school readiness for children of all ages. We encourage grown ups to sit with their children, participating in the activities as able. Storytime is lots of fun and children actively learn by watching modeled behavior. So, jump in and have fun with us!

Literacy Tip:

Often children's picture books have multiple layers of meaning. In the case of Hello Hello, the story is told simply, using comparing and contrasting words, but there is another story line going on throughout the book.  The last animal on each double page spread, is the first animal on the subsequent page, forming a sequence of animals throughout the story.  In addition, the front end-papers contain the silhouettes of the animals, while the back ones show the same lineup of animals in full color and pattern.  It's as if the animals left the front of the book and paraded through to the back!  This type of subtle story line is one worth watching for and exploring with children.  Challenge yourself to find more subtle story lines!

Craft

Animal Masks

Given a basic mask image, children were encouraged to create their own animals, real or imaginary. We added popsicle sticks to hold the masks and went on an animal parade, saying "hello, hello" to those we met along the way.
