A Book About Doves. And some tunes.
The girls toured the South O library. They learned about all of the library resources and how to get help to access them. After their tour, they had a read aloud and a related craft activity. Each girl got to keep a set of colored pencils and a pencil sharpener. Bonus!
The book they read was about doves. What do you think of when you see a dove? Check out this video to see the girls’ responses (spolier alert: “Peace Out!” is the best response. “An owl” is tied for second best, right up there with “A bird.”) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5g_euXn3Cw
What do girls like to do while they work on their craft activity? Justin Bieber fans, click here to find out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bGkicplJNw.
