Story Time: All preschoolers interested in a weekly program that includes stories, songs, games, crafts and laughs are invited to the library on Fridays at 10:30 in the morning! Remember, an adult must accompany children. Welcome Back on September 12! We will read the story Clap Your Hands by Lorinda Bryan Cauley. We will learn about numbers, letters, animals and science as we explore the world of stories. Our creature is the alligator, our number is 1, and our letter is A. We will use different sized containers to see what holds the most water - you might get wet, so come prepared! Let's not forget about a craft - we will decorate crayons to put up on the wall! We will end the hour with a game of Freeze Dance!
