Library time is offered to children in the Three-Year-Old Preschool classes through Kindergarten. Young children are exposed to the Library with their classroom teacher as they explore language through text. As children enter into the prekindergarten and kindergarten levels of our program their Library experience includes new stories, book buddies, a discussion of the story presented, and then a reinforcement or recreation of the story through activities that develop their imagination. After the story time, children are free to browse the books in the library. Children enrolled in the Kindergarten Class are able to check out the library books to take home and share with their families. Many developing language skills, written, aural and oral, are reinforced through literature.

The PS-3 Class will be reading “Put Me In The Zoo” by Dr. Seuss, “The Crayon Box That Talked” by Shane DeRolf, “The Little Mouse and the Big Red Strawberry” by Don Wood and “Elmer:” by David McKee.
Many of the children are really improving in their language skills and showing a real interest in "reading". Continue to read with them at home and allow them to read to you. Make trips in the car and to the store a fun language experience by challenging them with the letters and words around them.
Spring Break is the week on March 15-19. This is a time to relax, rejuvinate and by all means READ.
In His Service,
Carol Krueger
Librarian
