Library Fridays (er, Not.)

Library Day is usually Friday, but wasn't, since we had a trip scheduled. Our most recent reads were Eric Carle books and poetry.





One poem from the Auks book, which we enjoyed:



And of course, there were dinosaurs...

Friday is Library Day

This was supposed to be a once a week journal entry... Unfortunately, we are coping with a malicious act taken against our family, and I am way behind on my blogging, so I'm just going to throw up some photos of our September reads. We go to the library on Fridays and read a bunch of books. Favorite topics lately have been dinosaurs (of course), Native American legends, and animals/nature. We've also done a lot of poetry and some Dr. Seuss. Mikro often reads entire picture books to me, and on longer books, we generally alternate pages. Really dense stuff intended for much older kids serves nicely for read alouds.

Some of our books for September:

Mikro is always excited to go to the library.



This time, we read:
The Little Yellow Leaf
When the Wolves Returned
Christopher Wren, Avian Architect
Monster Bones: The Story of a Dinosaur Fossil
Let's Go Dinosaur Tracking
A Child's First Book of Dinosaurs



Monster Bones was a huge hit. He insisted on reading it to me twice!





He also really enjoyed Let's Go Dinosaur Tracking, and it inspired some experimentation.



This photo may look like nothing more than a kid playing on the beach. Actually, it's a little scientist observing the difference in tracks created when walking versus running. He got a concrete demonstration that running prints are deeper and more widely spaced than walking tracks. Science with a smile, and a suitful of sand!
