March StoryTime Themes

Wow! I just can't believe how quickly the time flies by! It's St. Patrick's Day already and I am just finally posting about our March StoryTimes!


Well, in case you've missed the past couple of weeks, we started off the month talking about the old saying: "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb." We discussed what that means, in terms of weather, and sure enough there had been a big storm on March 1st!

Our Story Time on March 6th was all about LIONS!
We read ROAR! A Noisy Counting Book by Pamela Duncan Edwards, and Library Lion by Michelle Knudsen, and then made some very cute Lion masks out of paper plates and orange, brown and yellow construction paper.
Roar!!



On March 13, we started looking forward to a new season, and read stories having to do with Spring and the color GREEN, including Bear Wants More by Karma Wilson, Little Green by Keith Baker , and Camping in Green by Christianne C. Jones.

Then we decorated shamrock shapes with green collage materials for a festive decoration.




This week's theme will be Rabbits & Bunnies .... so hop on over to the Library this Thursday to find out which books we'll be reading , and participate in making a fun bunny craft.





Since we started the month with the Lion theme, we'll finish up March next week with stories and a craft about ... Lambs!


I've got some great books picked out for this one!



Join the flock and have some fun!



Hope to see you soon @ the Library!!

Looking forward to SPRING,

Lisa
