Ms. Kelly at the Library: Fizz, Boom, Read!: Catapult Science
http://mskellyatthelibrary.blogspot.com/2014/08/fizz-boom-read-catapult-science.html
Thursday, August 14, 2014. Fizz, Boom, Read! Next on my list of SRP programs to catch readers up on is the Catapult Science program I did for Grades 3-6. I originally got the idea for this program. From Lisa Mulvenna of Lisa's Libraryland. I knew it would be a fun and easy program to do for this summer's theme and definitely wanted to give it a try. After that, I guided the kids in building their catapults. Some even created mock castle walls after hearing how catapults used to be used in warfare. The se...

Ms. Kelly at the Library: Counting Ramp: Our new early literacy center
http://mskellyatthelibrary.blogspot.com/2015/05/counting-ramp-our-new-early-literacy.html
Tuesday, May 5, 2015. Counting Ramp: Our new early literacy center. My library has a ramp leading into our children's area. The children's area is a few steps down from the center of the library, so the main purpose of the ramp has always been providing accessibility. It is an area of my department I've always had to keep a close eye on because the kids love to run up and down it. Until recently I have never thought of using it to promote early literacy. Our "Counting Ramp" was the result:. The sign deta...

Ms. Kelly at the Library: American Girl Club: Meet Isabelle
http://mskellyatthelibrary.blogspot.com/2014/02/american-girl-club-meet-isabelle.html
Monday, February 24, 2014. American Girl Club: Meet Isabelle. The girls often bring their dolls, but it is definitely not required. The dolls usually end up sitting to the side and watching the rest of the festivities. We start each meeting by talking about the girl's time period and books. I always ask who has read the books, and what they know about the time period. Reading the books is not a requirement by any means, but I usually have a least one girl who has. We played "Pass the Dance" first. In...

Ms. Kelly at the Library: June 2015
http://mskellyatthelibrary.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 27, 2015. Every Hero Has a Story: Who is your hero? Ever since I took an early childhood related webinar through MLA about two months ago, I've been thinking about how to provide literacy building activities on every available library surface. I created our counting ramp. And am planning on adding a Lego board and a flannel board to the sides of our shelves. For summer reading I wanted to come up with a literacy building passive program that kids of all ages could enjoy. I'd love to hear a...

Ms. Kelly at the Library: Fizz, Boom, Read!: Candy Science
http://mskellyatthelibrary.blogspot.com/2014/08/fizz-boom-read-candy-science.html
Friday, August 1, 2014. Fizz, Boom, Read! This week's program for grades 3-6 was Candy Science. I can't lie; planning this program made me feel a little bit like Willy Wonka. My goal for this program was to increase the kids' understanding of science concepts through experiments involving candy. The kids were understandably excited about this. Here's what we did:. Removing M's from M&Ms:. I found this idea here. I was grateful it happened a little more quickly for the kids. Sink or float candy:. Another ...

Ms. Kelly at the Library: 2015 Summer Reading Finale Party
http://mskellyatthelibrary.blogspot.com/2015/08/2015-summer-reading-finale-party.html
Friday, August 14, 2015. 2015 Summer Reading Finale Party. The wonderful chaos of our summer reading program is over, for this year at least. We've had a busy summer with more kids doing reading logs than we've had since I've been here. We had some great programs as well. Overall I would say this summer has been a success. I pretty much kept to the same basic idea as last year's party. Our stations this year:. Dress like a hero:. Build a superhero fortress:. Shoot a bad guy:. We threw balls at pictures o...

Ms. Kelly at the Library: Flannel Friday: Five Little Fishies Swimming in the Sea
http://mskellyatthelibrary.blogspot.com/2015/07/flannel-friday-five-little-fishies.html
Friday, July 10, 2015. Flannel Friday: Five Little Fishies Swimming in the Sea. My contribution to this week's shark themed Flannel Friday is flannel pieces to go along with one of my favorite storytime songs: "Five Little Fishies Swimming in the Sea". This is a twist on the classic "Five Little Monkeys Swinging in a Tree" that I often use in storytime, but usually only with hand motions. I don't remember where exactly I learned it from. Five little fishies swimming in the sea,. Teasing Mr. Shark,. There...
