Location: Federal Way Public Library
Time: 5-7
Date: 2/4/2015
Today was the first day at our partner libraries instead of
at Casa Latina. It was a bit longer drive to Federal Way than we thought but we
got there only a few minutes late. There were a couple older children, and
three under-ones, though one would not tolerate being away from mom. Is there a
way to be less scary to kids? I’m starting to feel like I must be scary.
I thought the kids might make masks today out of paper
plates, and they seemed excited about the idea, but did not get very far,
though they did color up some pretty plates. They got distracted and wanted to
run around, I guess they do sit all day at school. Although we were not the
best planned at getting snacks, and then getting everything moved out of the
room, which was otherwise reserved at 6, it did go okay. The story time was
wonderful, I sat through it with one of the little ones. The older kids did not
want to sit still, and ran off but I was happy to see that they had found
another corner of the library to read on their own.
I am always in awe of how kids can make friends so easily,
or at least find a way to have fun with people they’ve never met.
