Brain Games

During Family Night @ the Library the children and their parents learned how to complete a Sudoku puzzle. We used the puzzle boards created by Mrs. Betts using four colors (red, green, orange, and blue) and a 4x4 grid. Once the children were able to complete the board puzzle, they moved to the iPad and played the Sticker Sudokuapp. I believe this was one of the greatest events we have had during Family Night @ the Library. Everyone who came in seemed to have fun trying to complete the puzzles. When they were successful at completing their first puzzle on the iPad they couldn't wait to try again to beat their previous time. I could see the brains of the children growing as they used logical thinking to place the puzzle pieces.

I love it when friends take time to read!

Creative Card Making

During Family Night @ the Library on March 7th, we worked on submissions for the Irving Schools Foundation Mother's Day Card Contest. Each child was encouraged to create their very own drawing showing "My Mommy loves me by...." The entries were sent to the Irving Schools Foundation. The winning artwork entry will be the design of the Irving Schools Foundation's Mother's Day Card.

Our spotlighted Star Family, Jacob V.'s, for the evening came to Family Night. He won a free kid's meal from from Chili's. Congratulations and thank you for being a Star Family and coming to Family Night @ the Library.

The games and activities at Family Night @ the Library, but the best part is looking for, reading, and checking out books!

Open House

Thursday, February 28th was not a usual Family Night @ the Library. On this evening we also had Open House at Kinkeade Early Childhood School.

We did not have an activity during the evening, only because we did not want to take away from the time the children had to show their family all of the hard work they have been doing in the classroom. We did have a great turn out in the library. We had 70 NEW parents sign up for library cards! This is so exciting. 

The library was busy all night long!
