Another Week of Arts & Crafts!

This week's theme was "Now You See It" and focused again on arts and crafts. This time the kids did sand art from a kit. We also painted "magic" pictures by coloring with a white crayon on white paper and then painting over it with thin black paint.

Our story this week was well known by several kids: How I Became a Pirate by Melinda Long. If anyone particularly liked this week's story, the library also has the sequel: Pirates Don't Change Diapers.

I have had 4 reading charts turned in so far, but the kids have until July 24th to turn in reading charts for their pizza certificate. In addition to the pizza certificates, I also have a limited number of gift certificates to the Solomon Valley Cinema and for movie rentals at Catlins. The movie certificates will be given out based on who turns in their reading charts first. Good luck and happy reading!



The preschoolers also focused on art this week. In their packets was a paintbrush craft, and a paint-with-water page from the themed materials made available to libraries this summer. The pre-schoolers have two more weeks to pick up packets (until July 24th) and until July 31 to turn in materials for prizes from the Port Library and Mitchell County Partnership for Children.
