Kids' Club Winter Activities
Back from the holiday break, Jennifer's Kids' Club group welcomed the winter season with stories and songs about the snow. The kids continued with the poetry Unit, learning a new one to role play: The Snow People. Designing their snow people with the glitter created a lot of excitement! The poem goes like this:
The Snow People
(Number of children) little snow people standing in a row
Each with a hat and a big, red bow.
Out came the sun, and it stayed all day.
Then one little snow person melted away.
The group also started a Winter Readers' Tree. Just as they did in the fall, the kids brought in the names of the books they've read at home and add the titles to snowflakes for their tree. For those who haven't had a chance to see it yet, the Fall Readers' Tree can be found in the children's area of the library. The winter tree will be there as soon as it's filled with snow!
As they moved into February and Valentine's Day approached, the group started talking about friendship and what it means to be a good friend. They began an author study of Oliver Jeffers books. Both Lost and found and How to catch a star talk about the theme of friendship. The kids wrote their second class booktitled Being a Good Friend Means…. This book and their Thanksgiving book also have their own special spot in the library so the children can continue reading it! Just ask the librarians if you haven't found it on your own.
Since Kids' Club returned in January, they've also been talking about the baby growing in Jennifer's belly! February 23rd Jennifer came to say good-bye, and Daniel joined the group as their new teacher. It's time for Jennifer to get ready for baby's arrival, and surely the kids are going to have lots of fun adventures ahead with Daniel!
