News from the Early Learning Center Library
Mr. Maynard's favorite time!
List of things offered at the
1.
Every week the
children attend library class at which time we read a
story, choose and check out a book. Books can be
selected from 3,600 available in fiction and non-fiction
and periodicals for children. About once a month the
children engage in some sort of scientific investigation
and experimentation in the library.
2.
After school once a
week a read-aloud story time is offered. Parents and
children are welcome as long as each is accompanied by
the other.
3.
Two mornings a
week, parents are invited to come check out books for
their children, books on parenting or books from our
professional teacher library. A generous check-out
policy makes many fine award winning books available to
the parents of the ELC community.

From Mr. Maynard -
So, if you are thinking, “One more book about fire engines and I’ll hit the roof!” remember: That book is special. It’s special because of all the books in the library, your child chose it to take home for you to read to him.

We turn on the dryer and let the ball go. Cheers rise up. The ball floats about three centimeters from the end of the hair dryer. Click here to know why your child is doing experiments in a library!!
