Story Time
Ants were looking for a picnic in the children's room at the Clyde Public Library. Preschoolers colored an ant paper bag puppet to take home.
The books shared were: Which Way Now? by Josephine Croser. A piece of cake looks awfully good to three hungry ants, but there's only one way to get back to their nest and that's to work together.
Ant, Ant, Ant by April Pulley Sayre. Teaches children the names of insects through rhyming text that begs to be read or shouted out. Includes a four-page glossary that gives details about each bug featured.
I Saw an Ant on the Railroad Track by Joshua Prince. Jack, a railroad switchman, frantically tries to save an ant who is heading east on a westbound track, straight into the path of an oncoming freight train.
One Hundred Hungry Ants by Elinor J. Pinczes. One hundred hungry ants head towards a picnic to get yummies for their tummies, but stops to change their line formation, showing different divisions of 100, cause them to lose both time and food in the end.
Our music leaders were Elise Hill and Brady Wilson.
