Sasquatch Story Time: October 10, 2017

Books:
Are We There, Yeti? by Ashlyn Anstee
The Boy Who Cried Bigfoot! by Scott Magoon
Don't Squish the Sasquatch! by Kent Redeker *
Socksquatch by Frank W. Dormer *
Yeti, Turn Out the Light! by Greg Long *

Craft: Sasquatch
This week's craft was based on the picture at left.  The kids colored the sasquatch head before gluing on eyes and teeth.  It could be made into a bigfoot, sasquatch, yeti, etc. depending on how it was colored.

Literacy Extensions:
- The Boy Who Cried Bigfoot would be a great introduction for a conversation on telling the truth, lies, and exaggeration.
- After reading Yeti, Turn Out the Light make some shadow drawings.  Place various objects in front of a bright light and have your child try to trace the shadows.

Notes:
Story Time was not held on Monday, October 9, 2017 as the library was closed for a staff development day.

Ghost in the House Story Time: October 14, 2014

Books:
Ghost in the House by Ammi-Joan Paquette *
Go Away, Big Green Monster by Ed Emberley *
Love Monster by Rachel Bright *
Ten Creepy Monsters by Carey F. Armstrong-Ellis

Craft: Ghost
Our craft this week was based on the craft pictured to the left.  Each child was given a piece of white cardstock that had been cut in half longways that they colored a face onto.  They then glued on pieces of white crepe paper along the bottom before gluing the cardstock into a cylinder.

Literacy Extensions:
- Have you child come up with their own counting rhyme featuring monsters (i.e. Ten Creepy Monsters or Ghost in the House)
- Talk about body parts by having your child describe the various features of the characters in the book your reading (i.e. Go Away, Big Green Monster)
