StoryTime this month ...

Hello All,

and Happy -belated- New Year! Sorry I haven't had a chance to post much lately - New Year's Resolution: Keep *Story*Time* Blog Updated!!! wish me luck...!

Anyhow, so far in February our Thursday themes have included Groundhog's Day/Superbowl Sunday (this was actually on Jan 31st) and included making a groundhog, who pops up to look for his shadow ... and he was also wearing a NE Patriot's helmet to be ready for the Big Game ... but we all know how THAT ended...
then last week we learned about Chinese New Year, since last Thursday was the first day of the Year of the Rat.

We made paper lanterns and discovered which animal year we were born in (I'm a Monkey!) and colored the animals on the lunar calendar.

This week we will celebrate Valentine's Day, since the 14th is on Thursday;

we'll have some festive stories and make cards for family & friends!

Next week, the day after our Wild West Magic Show, we'll continue with the Cowboy theme with some silly stories like
Little Old Big Beard and Big Young Little Beard : a short and tall tale.

Hope to see you soon @ the Library!
Stay warm!!!
