I have really enjoyed my monthly visits to Miss Jenny's classroom this year! The children are always excited to see my puppet friend, Wesley, and to share a snack with him following storytime! Thanks to the children and teachers for the wonderful surprise they prepared for me today! They sang a very silly song about an alligator. I'll probably be singing the refrain in my head all day long! "Aaa-lligator, Aaa-lligator! Can be a friend to you!"
I hope everyone has a fun and safe summer!
Don't forget: you are always welcome at the Bellevue Public Library!!!

Each Outreach Storytime includes activities that support one or more of the five early literacy practices identified as essential in helping your child develop the skills they need before they can learn to read. The five practices – singing, talking, reading, playing and writing –were developed for Every Child Ready to Read®, an initiative of the Association for Library Services for Children (ALSC) and the Public Library Association (PLA).
