It's ALIVE!

I am on a mission this year to incorporate more non-fiction books in storytime and introduce more math and science to my LLFs. I love kid's non-fiction books. They are so gorgeous with their vivid images, colorful layouts and sidebar factoids. The problem, of course, is that they just aren't that interesting to read out loud.
As librarians, I believe we do concentrate on language arts naturally, but are seeing more of a trend to include science and math into the mix as well. There are a lot of picture books that cover math and science topics. Themes in storytime such as colors, senses, counting, plants, etc. do touch on mathematical and scientific concepts, but I plan on taking it to the next level this year. So, BLFs watch out for my new math and science storytimes coming this fall!
