Science Stations was the name of the game this week at Science Explorers. We made raisins dance, experimented with polymers and hypothesized on what would happen to a Gummy Bear when submerged in water vs. salt water. Fun was had by all!
Today we read Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons and Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes by James Dean (no, not that James Dean!) Great books … easy and repetitive. The kiddos loved both books and especially Pete the Cat. After our stories and songs, we made some groovy button bracelets.
We discussed author and illustrator Eric Carle today. What an amazingly talented and creative man. Miss Susan found a book by Klutz called You Can Make a Collage by Eric Carle … It is a complete how-to book on how to create your own piece of collage art. The book is filled with 72 pages of reproduction papers for you to use. It is amazing. We had a great time! I even made one …
Winter, winter, go away! Snowflakes are falling … again! I’m looking forward to my trip to Disney World next week …

February is National Wild Bird Feeder Month. I found a fun little bird feeder project via Pinterest from the blog eighteen25 that doesn’t involve peanut butter or lard … just a bit of unflavored gelatin. Super easy and super fun!
OK! Let’s try to have a FULL week without closures! This is what is going on this week in the Junior Library.

Secret Message Valentine! Found this great idea on Pinterest from Crafts by Amanda
Our favorite Dangerous Boy leader, Chris Fisher, couldn’t make it in today! So, Miss Susan and Miss Jean, (*gasp* girls!) had to take-over. I think we did a pretty good job! We all had a blast (especially, ME!) Just a few supplies and we launched marshmallows all over the library … All you need are some cups — small/large, plastic/plastic, a few toilet paper tubes, some balloons, scissors and marshmallows (of course). Good times!
OK. So, here we go again! Looks like another short week at the library. BUT, if the snow decides to take a quick turn and go toward Mexico, this is what our week in the Junior Library looks like:
