Lots of library time

We went back to the library close to our new house on Thursday. They had a special even called 'Flights of Fantasy' where 2 women acted out some folk tales. They were so hilarious dressing up in hats and acting like animals. The first story was Turtle Bag which is a folk tale from India, this was my favorite story of the ones we did. They also did an Uncle Remus story about Brer (sp?) Rabbit and Brer Wolf, a Navajo folk tale about the origin of stars and the Big Red Hen. Olivia and Claire both enjoyed it, although I think the Wolf scared them.

They have already read 5 books, only 5 more to go for the reading program. Olivia is so motivated, she is anxious to finish all 10!
