library week
Book: D.W.'s Library Card by Marc Brown
Activity: practicing writing names
This book is a great way to introduce the library to little ones. You can talk about how to get a library book, checking out materials, renewing, and taking care of library books.
Activity: practicing writing namesFor this story I was able to interest my little girl in starting to learn how to write her name. She can recognize it and tell you how to spell it, but she hasn't been really interested in writing it. She loves the library though so writing her name to get her own card has been a good motivation. I wrote it in a light colored pencil. Then I had her grip the pencil while I helped her trace the letters. Eventually, we'll work up to having her trace it or write it on her own. Then work on her full name like in the book.
Snack: bookworms
I love this idea from Sweet Serendipity!
