Friday Fun

Friday Fun with Jarrett Krosoczka

May 24, 2013 - 8:21am — Lisa C.

The Lunch Lady graphic novels were the Backseat Book Club pick for May.  While these are not picture books, they are awesome and Jarrett does do some picture books.  NPR had a great story on Jarrett yesterday.  They went with hom on a school visit in DC.  I learned so much about him as a person and a writer.  I was crying by the end of the story.

Celebrate Dr. Seuss

February 28, 2013 - 10:48am — Lisa C.

In honor of Dr. Seuss and Read Across America Day, I would like to introduce everyone to Seussville!  Not only does this site have information about Dr. Seuss' books, but it also has great videos, games and activities for kids and teachers.  You can learn about the world of Dr. Seuss and have a great interactive time doing it.  I hope everyone has a great Dr. Seuss Day!

Pep Talk From Kid President

February 1, 2013 - 12:00am — CLEL

The Pep Talk from Kid President video is everywhere, but I wanted to share it with all of you.  It is really inspiring, cute and funny.  It makes me smile everytime I watch it. "Not cool Robert Frost" (You'll get that if you watch the video)  Click on the image below to watch the video.

Banned Books Week Friday Fun

October 4, 2012 - 2:52pm — Lisa C.

In honor of Banned Books Week, I found this inspirational video from an independent bookseller in Arizona, Bookmans.  People, young and old, read lines from challenged books with lightbulbs above their heads.  I have to admit, I got a tear in my eye.  The lines really spoke to me about the importance of reading.  I hope you enjoy the video Bookmans Does Banned Books Virtual Read out.

Friday Fun with Kid History

September 19, 2012 - 1:18pm — Lisa C.

I just found a great series of videos on YouTube called Kid History.  Kids tell stories that their parents have told them about their lives.  The adults then act out the story to what the kids say.  The stories change a lot from what the kids originally heard to what is told and acted out. The results are hilarious. Click on the image below to hear and see the story about "Healthy Food"

I am doing a shameless self promotion for Friday Fun today.  If you haven't used Pinterest yet, you should try it out.  It is a great tool for librarians and teachers.  You can find so many great ideas for things to do in the library as well as encourage parents to do at home with their children to promote early literacy.  Here are some great people and boards to follow:

Friday Fun with Frances

August 17, 2012 - 3:40pm — Lisa C.

It's time for more Friday Fun!  This video is from the Glenside Public Library.  They did a Reader's Theater of Bread and Jam for Frances by Russell Hoban.  They do a great job of incorporating minimalist costumes, music and fun into the story.  I hope you all enjoy and have a great Friday!

Don't forget to sign up for the Annual Meeting!

Friday Fun with Lemony Snicket

July 26, 2012 - 4:28pm — Lisa C.

It's Friday!  For some of us, that means WooHoo the weekend is here.  For others, it means man I have to work the weekend.  Either way, it is time for your weekly installment of FRIDAY FUN!  Daniel Handler, aka Lemony Snicket, recently created a funny video promoting libraries and how people would be dumb without them.  It is a great little song with even better comic relief from Maira Kalman.  Click here to watch the video.

 

Olympic Mascots

July 13, 2012 - 3:18pm — Lisa C.

It's almost time for the Olympics, so I found a fun web page all about the London Olympics Mascots. You can play games, create your own mascot and watch videos.  Hopefully, this gets you excited for the London Olympics!

Creative Photography Fun with Kids

May 25, 2012 - 3:02pm — Lisa C.

Wedding photographer Jason Lee started taking creative photos of his daughters in 2006.  The photos are so fun and creative.  Some of them made me think " How did he do that?"  Others just made me smile.  I hope you enjoy the fun photos on the blog Bored Panda.
