The Bowlby Public Library continues to present Kindergarten Here I Come!. Meetings are June 12th and 26th, July 10th and 24th, August 7th and 21st. This program will aid children entering kindergarten in 2008, and all children enrolled will receive an activity calendar and twelve books for their home library.
This is a parent-driven program with a guide and calendar that will be distributed statewide to support families in preparing their preschoolers for future school success. Geared toward four-year-olds, the program contains months of simple at-home activities for adults and preschoolers to do together during the year before kindergarten. Kindergarten, Here I Come! was developed as a 12-month activity guide based on fun ideas that are linked to Pennsylvania’s Early Learning Standards for
Pre-Kindergarten.
Parents can discover the different domains for learning and ways to support their children’s development of kindergarten readiness skills through daily chores and experiences such as laundry, table setting or a walk to the playground.
Strategies for building language and literacy skills are woven throughout the activity guide, as well as parenting tips and resource information.
Register at the Bowlby Public Library, or for more information, contact Mrs. Kerry or the Children’s Department at 724-627-9776.
