Our summer reading program has been great this year with 450 kids signed up and reading.Our first weekly activity was a magician, Cody Landstrom, he gave a fantastic show for a group of about 137.Week two Our Enchanted Entertainers put on an encore performance of, "Company's Coming", and as always did a fabulous job.Then we had Veronica Schultz, a former Riverton music teacher, who gave a wonderful presentation about music. Kookaburra was an instant hit.The fourth week it was the children's librarians' turn to wow the crowd. We put on a puppet show, "Rumpled Turkey", for a group of 100 excited fans. They loved the show.Maybe we should take it on the road.
This week our own Teri Caldwell, actress and librarian extraordinaire, gave the children advice on becoming an actor.After some quick instruction the children made masks and Teri had them break into four groups. They were either a pig, cow, sheep, or duck. Then with Teri's help and the book Dooby, Dooby, Moo; by Doreen Cronin, the story came to life with the kids playing the animal parts.
Our final program will be Wednesday July 15, 2009.
We are planning a morning of music, food, face painting, and as always lots of fun.
