Congratulations to all the children who participated in our summer reading program! Your efforts truly helped prevent the summer slide, and you’ll all be heading back to school with happy, healthy brains ready to learn. You have until the end of the day on August 31st to turn in your reading log.
This September, we’ll be starting a new book club for homeschoolers. Please read The Wild Robot before our meeting on September 25 from 2:00–4:30 PM. At the meeting, we will watch the movie and discuss the changes made in the adaptation. The first 7 families to sign up will receive a free copy of the book.
We’ll also be hosting a cooking class for teens. This month’s recipe will be Oreo Truffles.
For preschoolers, there will be music and movement and story time throughout the month, along with take-home crafts to help develop fine motor skills.
Finally, on September 30, we’ll have a STEAM Lab featuring LEGO bricks!
