The Six Strangest Presidential Elections (so far)

Apples, Pumpkins and Transportation Oh My!
Fall Library Learning kits are almost ready. Families with children preschool through 2nd grade will enjoy these fun fine motor skill activities. We have lacing cards, matching, counting, patterns, and so much more all centered around a fun theme. Follow along with our science-based programs from Skoblicki Scientists to complete the fun experience. Get up and moving with our videos from JumpBunch. Transportation, Aim and Toss, Jump and Balance and Tossing and Catching. Each activity helps to move those bodies and cross that midline. 

The kits for K-3 and 4-6 will amaze you. We feature many STEAM activities you are sure to find fun and educational. 
Follow us on Facebook. On Monday 9/14 Mrs. L reads Duck, Duck, Goose! A Coyote’s on the Loose by Karen Beaumont. This silly story will have you wondering what everyone is running from. Then on Thursday Mrs. L shares As Me by Bernard Waber. A Dad and daughter spend the day together. The many questions create such wonderful heartfelt moments. Slow down and spend some time enjoying those closest to you.
Let us stay safe...
