Found Clover alphabetizing books as she returned them to the shelves. I had not realized that she was aware of the system of organizing the books by the author’s last name since she cannot yet read. I was surprised and yet not that she had figured it out. ^_^
Reading books at the beautiful Parkside library branch.
Set up a tea party at the Berkeley library.
The Three Little Kittens by Jerry Pinkney is a new favorite.
We checked out this book as well. The curriculum writes itself with this one! Good books are such a resource to whole learning. Before We Eat, From Farm To Table.
Milk doesn’t just appear in your refrigerator, or apples on your kitchen counter. Before we eat, many people must work very hard planting grain, catching fish, tending animals, and filling crates.
The Lakeview library hosted a petting zoo yesterday afternoon so we walked down the hill for a visit. Emma was way into it and after five or so minutes had to be taken out so the little furry creatures would continue to live, safely away from her clutches. And yes the libraries are the place to be in the summer. I heard one librarian say that pretty much their whole budget is spent on these summer activities!
Emma loved all of the animals but was excited about funny aspects like the ducks drinking water. She ran up to them and excitedly called “puddle ducks!” This kid loves Beatrix Potter. ^_^
