March StoryTime Themes

In like a Lion and out like a Lamb .... well, once again, March certainly did arrive like a Lion, with a big storm canceling school on Monday, March 2nd! That was Read Across America Day, so along with Memorial School in Upton, we celebrated on Thursday, March 5, making our theme The Cat in the Hat! Check out some pictures by clicking here!

In anticipation of Spring, upcoming themes this month will include:

The Color Green

Spring has Sprung!

and baby farm animals, beginning with PIGS!

We'll continue our farm animals theme into April, first with Bunnies, followed by Lambs!

StoryTime Supplies: Wish List

At a recent StoryTime session, some very thoughtful parents asked if they could donate supplies for StoryTime craft projects, and with the current budget situation we are facing, this got me thinking about putting together a Wish List!

Here is a list of the items that we go through the most at StoryTime:

• Glue Sticks
• Construction Paper (9"x12")
• Card Stock/heavy-weight paper (8.5"x11")
• Paper plates

and some other items that we would certainly appreciate as well:

• Tissues!
• Wet wipes
• re-sealable bags (sandwich size and gallon size)
• masking tape

misc. craft supplies and collage-type materials, such as:

• fabric scraps, rick-rack, ribbon
  
• wallpaper samples
• googly eyes
• pom-poms
• craft feathers
  
• cotton balls
• small paper plates/bowls
  
• cardboard tubes (ie: bathroom tissue rolls)
  
  
  
  If you are able to donate any of these items we would truly appreciate it! If you have other items you would like to donate, please ask first, as our supply space is very limited!
  
  
  
  THANK YOU!!!
  

Read Across America Day!

Read Across America Day, in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday, was last week, so we celebrated at StoryTime by reading The Cat in the Hat and making hats!
