T is for...

Yup, you guessed it: turkey!

We shared a couple of our favorite turkey stories during preschool storytime this past Wednesday morning.  The funniest one was Turkey Trouble by Wendi Silvano and illustrated by Lee Harper.  You would not believe how the turkey in this book tries to escape being eaten!

We decided to keep things simple, so our art project for the week was a turkey card/place holder.

Star Pictures by Star Students

This morning, a group of fifth and sixth graders from Cedar Hills Baptist Christian School visited.  After touring the library and learning how to search the online catalog, we decided to celebrate Thanksgiving and Native American cultures by reading S.D. Nelson's The Star People and making our own star people and creatures to guide and care for us.

Nemours Visit #2

We had another opportunity to visit with the folks from Nemours Bright Start this week.  We read about food during storytime, and then we made letters out of alphabet noodles and played a sorting game based on the first letters of different food names.

What Did We Do on This Gloomy Day?

After our preschool storytime about weather, we visited with some folks from Nemours Brightstart who were here to make a craft, lead some games, and do screenings.

3 Little Ghosts

Didn't catch any performances of our Halloween puppet show on Saturday?  We did an encore performance yesterday without some of the bells and whistles...just for kicks.  Warning:  we by no means think we are professional puppeteers or filmmakers!  We do think, though, you are in store for a good laugh (whether it is at our expense or not is yet to be determined)!  Enjoy!
