This week’s theme for story time was the beach. It’s a quick and easy theme to do because many of our patrons visit the shore during the summer time! We learned the sign language word for ocean, listened to My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean and we shared three beach-themed stories. All You Need for a Beach by Alice Schertle “Rhyming text describes items essential for fun at the beach, from the first grain of sand, to a beach umbrella, to a bucket and shovel, to the waves rolling in to tickle your toes.” Grandma’s Beach by Rosalind Beardshaw “When Emily is disappointed because she and her mother can not go to the beach, her grandmother comes up with a wonderful idea.” Sally Goes to the Beach by Stephen Huneck “Sally, a black Labrador retriever, goes to the beach, where she enjoys various activities with other visiting dogs.”
