Rhythm, Rhyme and Story Time with Ms Debbie - The Extraordinary Gardener
Rhythm, Rhyme and Story Time with Ms Debbie - The Extraordinary Gardener
Join Ms Debbie for a story time filled with books, movement, songs, action rhymes, sign language and more to help preschoolers develop early literacy skills in a fun environment. Some songs, stories and rhymes are repeated each week so children become more familiar with them, some will be new. I will sometimes have a craft or activity that will take place after story time. You are welcome to join us for that, or not, as you are able.
This year, we join local libraries and community partners for the twelfth year of the Longwood Gardens’ Community Read—a program designed to encourage reading for pleasure and to start a conversation surrounding gardens, plants, or nature.
To celebrate the twelfth year of the Community Read, Longwood Gardens selected two books that explore the powerful impact gardening can have on our lives. For young readers, The Extraordinary Gardener by Sam Boughton is a beautifully illustrated story about a young boy seeking color in a dreary world. We will read the book, hand out copies of the book to each family (while supplies last) and do a garden craft.
