Hello,
We are in the process of redesigning our web page and are considering
on-line registration for our preschool programs. By that I mean e-mail
registration as opposed to giving patrons the ability to print off a PDF
form which they would then have to bring in. Does anyone do this?
Any
problems with it? Any comments on this would be very much appreciated.

We do signups (by first names only, and we toss the sheet at the end of the
day), and we count our stats from the signup sheet.
I envy people who don't have to do signup, but that didn't work for us.

You might have make paper dolls and/or furnish a dream house with pictures
from mail order catalogs or magazines.
Also many girls knitted or crocheted. I think crocheting is easier.
You could make small braided hot mats using rags. They are quite easy and
many of the girls will already know how to braid.
You might also visit this site
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/ndlpedu/
for great pictures. It might be fun to share some of them.
This site lists some lesson plans for this period.
http://edsitement.neh.gov/tab_lesson.asp?subjectArea=3&subcategory=23
They often include craft ideas.
Also skim the books and see what Kit does and eats in the books. I bet a
search on the web would find you directions

Hi everyone,
I am in the stages of planning our Summer Reading Program (my first time)
and I would like input on the end-of-the-summer gift. I understand that
the
last 2 years here they gave out $5 gift certificates from a local bookstore.
I believe the parents were happy with that but I'm not sure if alot of kids
found thatto be an exciting gift.
What kind of prizes have others given out at the end of the program? Any
suggestions?
Thanks,

Amber,
Our policy states:
If the child is in 2nd grade or younger, a parent must
be in the Children's Room with them at all
times.(Though as of now it says parent or responsible
person and we are thinking of setting an age limit -
the minimun being 18 years old)
>From 3rd to 6th Grade, a parent must remain in the
building, but they can be in the room alone.
They are allowed in the library alone for the first
time in 7th grade.

We aslo use sign in sheets. People are allowed to sign
up for our games, internet, or word processor
computers three days in advance. We write down to last
name on the time slot and that's it. If they are
signing up in advance, we do take a phone number in
case the computers go down.
Our time limit is one hour maximum. So far, most only
last 30 minutes. We begin letting them on the
computers 30 minutes after opening and shut them down
30 minutes before closing

The government is being very careful about actually sending snail mail over

This is someone I personally know that you can write to. He is with 1st
Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment. His wife said she thinks morale is
going to be an issue for them. Here is an article she sent me about
their regime from the first few days. Kyle has two young kids (8 months
and 2 years).

War? Nothing to It for Young Troops, at Least on the First Few Days
By Jonathan Finer
SOUTHERN IRAQ, March 22 -- Lance Cpl. Matthew Funicello expected war to
be just like the more experienced Marines had described: hours of
boredom punctuated by the occasional few seconds of sheer terror.
But after a bloodless romp through southern Iraq in which his battalion
seized one of the country's most important oil processing facilities, at
the Rumaila oil field, without firing a shot, he was starting to wonder
when the terror might come.
"It feels like one big training exercise," Funicello, 21, of Los
Angeles, said as he stood by the side of a highway while his broken-down
Amtrak -- Amphibious Assault Vehicle -- underwent repairs. "I mean,
right now we are disabled on the road, in a hostile country, and no one
is even setting up a perimeter. Most of us just don't feel like we're in
danger."
So far the conflict with Iraq has been easier than many of the Marines
here expected. Just two of the more than 50,000 members of the 1st
Marine Expeditionary Force in the region have been killed in action.
"I hoped I wouldn't be busy, because that would mean we were having a
bad day," said Jaimer Cadang, 27, a Navy corpsman from Oxnard, Calif.,
who provides medical care to the Marines here. "But so far, the only
people I've treated are wounded Iraqis. I never would have guessed
that."
Another Marine compared the first two days of the war -- in which U.S.
forces sped across the Iraqi border from Kuwait to seize key objectives
-- to a "drive-by shooting."
All week, the commanders of the 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, have
been warning their troops to remain vigilant, even as the Iraqi army
seemed to melt away before them. "When you get complacent in combat, the
critique is that you and your fellow Marines get killed," said Maj. Dan
Healey, 36, of Worcester, Mass., as he briefed Bravo Company this week.
On their second day in Iraq, the 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment
encountered occasional pockets of resistance that some Marines said
could prove more dangerous than the set-piece battles to seize strategic
objectives for which commanders have had months to plan.
For instance, on a routine patrol through a village about two miles from
the oil facility, Marines stumbled across 10 Iraqi T-55 tanks dug-in in
a defensive posture and, in a battle, destroyed all of them with
shoulder-fired antitank weapons and TOW missiles launched from Humvees.
"It's the aftermath [of seizing an objective] that can be the most
dangerous," said Dave Jobe, a Bravo Company first sergeant from Mesa,
Ariz. "I've said to the Marines all along that I am not as worried about
the regular army as I am about the scattered bands and the potshot
shootings."
After the excitement of the border crossing, the Marines handed off the
oil facility this afternoon to a battalion of British Blackwatch forces.
This evening the Marines made their way northwest in a convoy of
hundreds of armored vehicles to a staging area for the next objective in
the ground campaign.
Jobe said he reminded his forces that their job will get harder the
longer it goes on, and that it could culminate in a difficult siege of
Baghdad, the Iraqi capital. But that hasn't stopped many of his charges
from referring to their procession north as the "Baghdad 500."

Hello all,
A staff member remembers using a participatory story with her
girls
scouts about 20-25 years ago and would like to find it again. These are
all the bits that can be remembered by her, her daughter and another patron
who was a member of the troop.
The story invovled a taxicab and mixed up suitcases. Each child had
a
word (here is where we start to lose the details) and someonw had the
whole story to read aloud. When your word was mentioned you had to jump up
and then sit down again quickly. Whenever teh word taxicab was used
everyone had to get up and possibly turn around or do some other action
before sitting down.
We thought it might have been an old ZOOM bit but we could'nt
find it
in any of the old ZOOM books and we couldn't find it on the Zoom website
either. Taxicab, which is the only possible name we can think of is no
help in a google search.
Anyone know what this might be. It is possible it is an old
Girl Scout
game but we can't find any Girl Scout leader manual that old to check.
Thanks for the help.
