It's spring, and our "Look at Me, I'm Three!" participants are growing so fast! So it was only fitting that we had a flower-themed May meeting on Wednesday!
The group practiced some relaxing mindfulness, then read the silly story "Grow Flower Grow!" by Lisa Bruce. In the story, Fran tries to feed her flower spaghetti and pizza to make it grow!
Then, it was craft time! Attendees made a paper craft, and also planted flowers for themselves (sans spaghetti). As they keep growing, those flowers will grow with them!
Mark your calendars! June 4th will be our last "Look At Me, I'm Three!" for the school year before our friends head off to Pre-K in September!
This week at Camden Elementary, 2nd-4th graders went on a virtual field trip right from the library! Using Google Expedition VR Headsets, students immersed themselves into interesting locations. From learning about different habitats to seeing world renowned landmarks such as the Colosseum, students had a great time. They even got to see what it would be like to walk on the moon! The headsets are provided by the Madison-Oneida BOCES School Library System.

Miss Stone's students were surprised on Monday with an egg from the Easter Bunny! Their job was to color it, and then sit on it throughout the week to see if it would hatch! When they came in this morning, there was a Marshmallow Peep on each egg!
The April edition of the Let's Play Two-Year Old Program was an EGG-ceptional experience! The group made a Jumping Bunny craft out of paper cups and had a fun time playing with new friends! These children are excited as they get ready to take the next step into Look At Me, I'm Three! in September!
