Salutations,
We will be doing a "where the wild things are"
party October 27.
The party will be for preschoolers (3 & 4 & 5 yearolds, not yet in
school). We usually do some decorating, activites, and a simple craft.
I would appreciate any ideas that you have tried or things that you
think would be fun.
Thanks for taking time to help me.

Jenn,
Balloons are beautiful, but you may get angry patrons depending on your
community. The broken balloons are killers to small animals who ingest
them and balloons caught in trees/wires are very tempting to small
childrens. Just some things to think about.

I have seen a great presentation by Janet Stevens (she had a slide show
showing how a print worn in one of her picture books matches her prom
dress). Many years ago I also saw one that was really good by Ruth
Heller
(it made me go out and buy my own Prismacolors) and also Joanna Cole.
Finally, I liked a presentation by Brad Sneed from several years ago.
I heard Phyllis Reynolds Naylor at an award ceremony for Shiloh, and she's
one that I would love to have visit the kids at my library.

1. What are your favorite opening/closing songs, poems or other
rituals for
both toddlers and preschoolers?
2. I am planning a fairy tale storytime. Do any of you have
fingerplays,
songs, etc. that you would recommend? Any particular favorites for
preschoolers?
Thanks so much in advance. I will compile and post to the list, so
feel

Also, we can make alternate news sources available to our adult patrons, so
that they get the information they need. Every library should
carry
magazines like The Progressive, Mother Jones, and The Nation, which tell
parts of the story the mass media sweeps under the rug. Accurate,
balanced
information is crucial to a democracy, and the library should be the place
to get it.
We can join the ACLU, which will have its hands full trying to protect our
civil liberties in the coming years. It needs our support.
And we can write Congress and ask them to please, please, exert their
constitutional powers and limit the president to finding and prosecuting
the perpetrators of the Sept. 11 carnage, not to unilaterally
declaring
war without end.
We can also ask that the money come from the $60 billion budgeted for Star
Wars, rather than from Social Security or from deficit spending. . Not only
has the missile "shield" never worked (Yes, folks, the tests
were faked.
The "enemy" missile contained a homing device.) but building it
would be as
if the French had built the Maginot Line AFTER World War II. We now
know
that no one needs missiles to attack the U.S. Let's not spend any more on a
pipe dream of safety when the money is desperately needed elsewhere.

Hello everyone,
I am interested in hearing what you can recommend in the way of mythology
picture books (or anthologies) that would be suitable for a grade 7 and 8
audience. While Greek mythology will be the primary focus, picture
books of
myths from other cultures (Norse, Asian, and so on) would also be welcome.
I am looking for both powerful and accessible renditions of the myths, which
are accompanied by beautiful illustrations.
If anyone can help, I'd be grateful.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain;
Date: Sun, 23 Sep 2001 22:15:21 CDT
Hi Jennifer-
I, too, would think twice about a balloon launch. Have you considered
a
balloon sculpture instead? I have done this in two different places,
with
great success. The original idea coame form the book Outrageous
Outdoor
Games by Bob Gregson (Fearon Teacher Aids, 1982). Here's what we did:
We anchored a stake in the lawn outside (the metal spiral kind) and securely
tied a long rope to the stake. (You'll want to weight the other end of
the
rope, too, or have a volunteer hold on to it, so that your sculpture won't
take off before you are ready!) Then, the kids decorated paper banners and
streamers and attached them with heavy tape at intervals along the rope.
We
gave each person a helium balloon to tie onto the rope, again at intervals
along its length. When we were ready to launch, we removed the weight
at
the unstaked end of the rope and the sculpture launched itself, lifted by
the helium balloons. Because the sculpture is tethered to the ground,
we
could admire what we had made as it danced in the wind, instead of just
watching it float away. We later popped the balloons and threw them
away,
and the kids that wanted to could take home the banners and streamers they
had made.
Good luck with your project!
