Moye's Smallest Mountain Lions Visit the Library

First graders making diapers!

The youngest students have visited the library this week for an orientation on caring for library materials.  We shared a book entitled A Book of Hugs by Dave Ross and practiced several of the hugs described by the author including the brother hug, sister hug, arm hug and knee hug.  The children were great fun and eager participants when it came time to HUG!  We also viewed a PowerPoint presentation featuring my granddaughter, Cady.  The slide show compares the ways that book care is similar to caring for a baby, including the way we hold our books/babies with two hands, the way we keep the two clean and dry, the way we use quiet voices in the library and when talking to a baby.  I showed the children a video clip of Cady sifting through Brennyn and Corey's junk mail and we all shared a good laugh.  
The prekinder and kinder students colored diapers on paper doll babies.  The first graders made origami diapers.  All of the students lined up at the door to receive kisses on their heads while being sure to give their books a two-handed hug.
