Our Story This Week is :  First Place Freddie written by Peter Bently and Daniel Howarth

First Place Freddie is one of a series of colorful tales for young children clearly meant to teach a lesson. In this case, Freddie the Flounder feels he is boring, in contrast to his friends Angel Fish, Puffer Fish, and Sprat. They all are bound to win a prize at the Fish Talent Show. However, it turns out that Freddy is able to foil Shark from eating his friends and earns a special prize for being himself. Just in case there is any question as to what the moral is, the book ends with a page for parents and teachers spelling out how it can be used in a classroom.



Our Every Child Ready to Read theme for the next 2 weeks is Letter Knowledge.  Books can help children learn the names of letters and the sound that they make. 

Reading to your child  for 5 minutes a day will get them ready to delve into a wonderful world of books.

 Talk to your child about the cover of the book.  Ask them what they think the story is about just by looking at the cover.  You will be surprised at the responses.  You and your child will have fun as you discover the joy of reading together.

Please feel free to join us for this wonderful story, silly songs and a fun craft on Tuesday June 12th at 10 a.m.  There is a small fee of $2.00 per child.
