Program 4: "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" - Insect Communities

On Wednesday, July 9th at 2:30 PM, 12 children and 5 adults learned all about teamwork through the lessons provided by the bee and ant communities. "Digger" the ant came alive as the children all welcomed him to the Springville Branch Library. Patricia Polacco's THE BEE TREE and flannel board story, LA HORMIGUITA, were the featured stories of the day. Group audience participation song, OVER IN THE MEADOW was enhanced by visual flannel panels of each featured meadow dweller. Reading and participation awards were given out and after snack the children enjoyed making their own "create-a-bug" refrigerator magnet. The heat outside was intense and our numbers were down, but this program was truly the most fun to present and encouraged more audience participation.

On Wednesday, July 16th, at 2:30 PM, program #5 will feature Spiders and Flies. I KNOW AN OLD WOMAN WHO SWALLOWED A FLY, Eric Carle's THE VERY BUSY SPIDER and Doreen Cronin's, DIARY OF A SPIDER will be featured stories and songs. I know you will love to meet "FLY GUY". The craft will be a moving spider on a web. Come on out to Springville Library next Wednesday and join in the fun!
