Wee Read Archives – 2009
September 15/17: We had fun singing songs while everyone arrived! Then Miss Jean read I Like Me by Nancy Carlson. Then Miss Rebecca Read Emma Kate by Patricia Polacco. Finally we drew our very own faces and shared all about ourselves with the group. Everyone was very brave!
September 29/October 1: It was all about apples this week. We read Little Apple Goat by Caroline Church and then Marjorie Priceman’s How to Make and Apple Pie and See the World. Then we pretended to be wiggly worms and crawled through a large apple. We even made a drawing of an apple tree using our hands as a template for the branches.

October 13/15: Fall is definitely in the air, and so we celebrated it at this week’s Wee Read. Leaves by David Ezra Stein and Scarecrow by Cynthia Rylant were our stories. Then we decorated our very own scarecrows to take home.
November 10/12: We had lots of fun with our blocks and songs. Then we heard the story Fletcher and the Falling Leaves by Julia Rawlinson. Finally we had a messy blast using finger paints to decorate quilt squares. The 
finished quilts are hanging in the library! Also, please enjoy these photos of individual squares (click on the photo to enlarge). Feel free to contact Miss Jean at the library if you 
would like her to email you a photo of your child’s work.
November 24, 2009: It was our special Thanksgiving story time today! We did our songs and finger play and then read Lydia Maria Child’s Over the River and Through the Wood and Alison Jackson’s I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie. Then we finished our time together with a cute turkey craft.
December 8/10: Due to bad weather Tuesday’s Wee Read was cancelled. But on the 10th we had fun with our blocks, jingle bells, and wintry stories. Then we took sugar cones and decorated them like Christmas Trees.
