WORMS!!!!!
The first Story Hour for 2013 was a success. 35 children and 8 adults attended this week’s story hour about WORMS!!! First, Jenny talked to the children about how story hour works, the reading program and about all the cool prizes that are going to be given out this summer! Jenny then read the book “Yucky Worms” by Vivian French. Lynn Oelkers treated the kids with a special song about worms, entitled “Everybody Hates Me”. After all that, the children got to the fun stuff! Kids ages 4-8 got crafty building a magnetic clothespin worm/Caterpillar, while the older kids ages 8-12 got dirty making worm farms. When all cleanup was done the kids made fingerprint worm bookmarks. Lastly, everyone headed outside to make yummy “dirt cups” with chocolate pudding, crushed oreo’s and gummy worms!
Next week our topic will be Dinosaurs/Fossils…..we will be making our own fossils and macaroni dinosaurs…You won’t want to miss this!!!! Story Hour is held every Wednesday in June from 9:30-11:00.
