Spring 2006 Stories and More
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE CAREFULLY AND CONTACT
LISA ALBERS AT
Greetings Librarians,
During the spring semester, Iowa Public Television (IPTV)
and the State Library of Iowa are sponsoring a FREE series of five
(5) ICN events called Stories & More featuring stories and activities
that center on a monthly theme to institutions and programs that
workdirectly with Iowa's preschool through Kindergarten children.
Stories & More sessions are offered twice (9:30-10:15 a.m.
and 10:30-11:15 a.m.) on the second or third Wednesday of each month.
Registrants are encouraged to register for all five of the monthly
events in the spring semester Stories & More series. It is not
necessary for the same children to attend every session.
Spring 2006 themes include:
Wednesday, January 18 - Stories & More: ABC's
Wednesday, February 15 - Stories & More: Physical Activity
Wednesday, March 15 - Stories & More: Food
Wednesday, April 12 - Stories & More: Environment
Wednesday, May 17 - Stories & More: Diversity
What are libraries responsible to do?
- Register for each of the ICN events that you would like your
library to participate in. We encourage you to sign up for the
entire series! See the "Registration Directions" listed further
down in this email.
- Get a group of PK-first grade children (ages 4-7) to participate
for an ICN site in your community. Some libraries have
contacted preschools in their communities to participate in the
sessions.
- Be in the ICN classroom for each event as a monitor/helper to
the children from the community. If you don't have an
ICN room in your library, you can still participate in this opportunity,
but you will need to make sure the ICN room you are using is expecting
your group of children and you are responsible for supervision.
- Provide minimal materials, like paper, pencil, crayons, markers,
or scissors for the session participants at your local site.
Each session has a little bit different list of materials that
will be used at your local site during the ICN session for the
planned
activities.
How do I register my library to participate?
