Story Times

I'm so glad that the Kingsport Public Library has such a great set of programs for the children. Benjamin may drag his feet like he does for going just about anywhere, but he always gets such a kick out of the story times.

The two most recent story times were about Fall Colors and Pizza respectively. Benjamin got to wear his favorite color (green) to story time when we read about fall colors. For one of those books, the librarian threw out die cuts representing seasonal foliage on the different pages. Benjamin gathered all of the pieces up that fell near him, and we used them to decorate a seasons box and talk about patterns.

For the pizza story time, they read fun stories about pizza and then made themselves into a pizza (using die cuts and such again). Benjamin again gathered up the toppings so we'll be putting together a pizza later using what we brought home. And to top it all off, we had pizza for lunch at Johnny Brusco's with Grandma and Grandpa Shipley who were a town for the afternoon. Tuesday's rock!
