First two official days of internship complete, yay! I worked half a day yesterday and went to do the program at the Eminence branch of the library. I had two very nice boys who came and we read The Remarkable Farkle McBride by John Lithgow and made egg shakers (maracas out of Easter eggs). Let's say that everyone had a great laugh when the popcorn kernals we used to fill the eggs exploded everywhere....
Today was a full day at the library, first at the Main branch then a trip out to the Brooklyn branch for programming. I spend part of this morning coming up with a new craft idea for next week's programming and I think I had a success! I'll post pictures of my grand craftiness in a few days.
Went out to the Brooklyn branch this afternoon, where I had 13 kids and three moms for the program. I switched it up and read Olivia Forms a Band by Ian Falconer today (it seemed to be better suited for the age group that was there). Everyone was very excited about their egg shakers and the moms helped with gluing the eggs together and cleaning up. I was just thrilled that they stayed for the program, helping me out was just the icing on the cake.
Three more days this week, three more branches...how will things go?
