Program 2: Strathmore children learn all about metamorphosis!

On Tuesday, June 24th, 27 children and 8 adults enjoyed learning about metamorphosis with Eric Carl's: THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR. "HERMAN THE WORM" was action- packed and everyone did "CATCH THE READING BUG". The hanging butterfly necklace was fun to make and everyone munched-out on worm-garden pudding and drank bug juice. We all had a wonderful time!

Program #3, to be held on Tuesday, July 1st at 10:30, will feature "THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE BUGLY!" Eric Carle's "The Grouchy Lady Bug" will be our featured story and
sheriff "Lady-Bug" will be our featured "hero-of-the-day"! You will all be deputized to join in our "hunt for the bug-villains" posse. We will also celebrate our nation's up-and-coming birthday! Lady-bug hand puppets will be the "craft of the day". So, come on out to Strathmore, "pardners" and share in a fun time for all. Hope to see you there!

Program 1: Strathmore kids enjoy backyard safari!

34 children and 11 adults were present at the "kick-off" program on Tuesday, June 17th. After going on a bug hunt, SAM'S SANDWICH grossed everyone out and THE WIDE MOUTH FROG entertained all. Bug facts, fact and fiction were presented. Kids made their own "bee journal" for creating their own observations or insect stories.

The second program will be held on Tuesday, June 24th at 10:30 in the morning. The subject is "METAMORPHOSIS: CHANGE CAN BE GOOD". Herman the Worm will entertain and The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Butterfly Garden will be featured. You'll dance and sing to "The bug's Life", I JUST WANT TO FLY. You'll be served "bug garden" pudding and bug juice for snack. So...if you like worms and butterflies, don't miss the next SUMMER READING SESSION at Strathmore. You might even "Catch the Reading Bug".

Strathmore summer reading begins Tuesday June 17th at 10:30 AM. Come join in the "buggy" fun this summer and learn how to:
