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:

Books like the ones we focused on this week are great because they provide a starting place for creative thought.  Just like the children in the book, Going Places, your child might enjoy making something new from recycled materials you have around your house.  Encourage your child to talk about the process and the end result to establish purpose and invention.  This is also a great time to talk about how mistakes can turn into opportunities for something new.  For a challenge, give your child a problem to solve. Google "invention challenges for children" for some ideas. See below for invention kit/tinkering kit ideas on Pinterest.

We provided cardboard bases cut into various "shapes" and recycled materials like bottle caps, straws, and buttons.  The children were encouraged to create their own invention using the materials provided, and then the adults created nameplates for the invention.  The children were encouraged to name their creations.
