Preschool Storytime will start again on September 18. We will run two sessions again this year--Wednesdays at 10 AM and repeated on Thursdays at 10 AM.
The format will be similar to past years--a letter a week approach. However, this year I am changing things up a little bit and making each letter more of a theme. For example, our first week is going to be "A is for Apples (and other things we eat!)".
During the first part of storytime we will focus mostly on the letter, its sound, and words that start with that letter. The rest of storytime will focus more on the theme for the day. Following storytime children and parents/caregivers are invited to stay and participate in enrichment activities. These activities will include such things as playdough, coloring, cutting, gluing, imaginative play, games, and other "expereince" type activities. Children can choose to do all, or just some of the activities. Parents are encouraged do the activities with their child and enjoy time together. This is also a time for children to interact with each other and for parents to talk with other parents.
Preschool Storytime will incorporate all of five elements of Every Child Ready to Read: singing, talking, reading, playing and writing. These practices help to build a foundation for future reading and learning...and they are all fun and easy to do!
