During an extremely busy January, the Mad Professor and his lab assistants (ie story-time crew) created a funny little booklet, to be made available soon at the Gulfport Temporary Library.
This is the cover page:
Special thanks go out to: Caleb, Carolyn, Christian, Destiny, Donald, Gaines, Hannah, Ian, Ivan, Jonathan, Lena, Nelson, and Rachel!
After two weeks of hard work on this booklet, we did story time about the Guiness Book of World Records. Various contests were held, including one to see who could chew the most gum (ugh!). Congratulation again to all those who won. (Christian, Destiny, Jonathan and Rachel!)
Last week also was lots of F.U.N. We celebrated National Backwards Day (Jan. 31) by doing everything backwards, including wearing our clothes backwards, greetings etc etc. Everybody did awesomely, esp. Hannah, who read one complete stanza of Shel Silverstein's poem "Backwards Bill" backwards. Literally!
Next week (Feb. 7) we will kick off Black History month with a reading of "Rosa", a Caldecott Honor Book, written by Nikki Giovanni. It's about the life of Rosa Parks, sn African American woman who refused to give up her bus seat and helped start the Civil Rights movement.
Afterwards, we will have Dr Martin Luther King scavenger hunt (using the computer).
Other games will follow.
