We Are Readers!

Bus shenanigans

The boys and girls were so excited to jump on a bus and head to the Strathcona County Library for a very special tour, and we learned a lot! 

When we arrived, Pascale showed us many of the items that can be borrowed from the library. We can borrow read-along kits (book/CD), CDs, DVDs, beginning readers, picture books, really fun PlayAway kits (an MP3 player with stories to listen to), and so much more! 

We took a tour to see what we can do in the library! We went through the children's section, the Discovery section, the computer area, past the Information Desk, and back to the program room! 

Back in our program room, we got a super secret sneak peek at the Summer Reading Game "Welcome to Meliora" and that the library offers! You can play every day once school finishes. Can your child tell you how to earn a free, brand new book? 

Have a peek in the Grade 1 reading kit your child received today. It is specifically tailored for our readers entering Grade 2 in the fall! Can your child tell you how we can get our names on the rocket ship board?

Ask your child how to get our names
posted on the board!

Be sure to check the Summer Program Guide for many FREE programs offered this summer for kids and families, including the Lego Night that got us all excited!

The library makes reading and learning so much fun, and is an excellent way to spend your summer! Please encourage your child to continue reading daily throughout the summer, as this will make the transition to Grade 2 tremendously smoother. 

It was an awesome trip and we are so excited that we have become readers!
