LATI Entry for Week of September 17

This week was very productive. On Wednesday I participated in a sprint with the LATI group. I concentrated on two items that need completed very soon. My project informaiton form is completed and emailed in. This has a due date of Septembe 26th.
I committed to paper my project brochure using the GROW-TH guidelines. This is due on October 31st. Today I typed this into a microsoft word document and it is ready to be sent.
My three story times went really well. My theme was hippos. The little boys really seemed to enjoy the stories. The little girls liked the story about Hilda Must Be Dancing. I highly recommend that book for a story time.
I am still working on my portfolio and hope to have it completed by the end of next week. That will leave me the remaining time to make my patterns and cut the felt pieces and bring the characters to life.

LATI Entry for week of September 10th

I am happy to report my program on caring for you pet hosted by the SPCA went really well. Each child got to pet the animals which took a little bit of time, but the children were really patient waiting in line for their turn.
I need to prepare three story times for next week. I am happy to report I have chosen the books and made one felt board. I am not including this felt board in my showcase project.
I have started cutting out one of the six felt boards for my showcase project.
I also continued to assemble my portfolio. Just three sections left and that will be completed. Where does the time go? November 8 will be here before long and there is still so much to be done. I need to concentrate next week on completing the portfolio. I am leaving the felt boards for last since bringing the story characters to life is something I enjoy. The felt boards won't feel like work.

LATI PORTFOLIO

I am back after a very hectic holiday weekend. Today is continuing the trend with the day just flying by. I had the Firefighters at the branch for a program for preschoolers. It went really well. I was hoping for at least 30 kids to show up and we ended up with 106 kids and 65 adults. This evening I have a school visitation for parent's night. This will be the first one I have attended so it should prove interesting. All the supplies I need came in yesterday so that is a relief.
Besides these two events today, I took time out to write in my blog. I have started to assemble my portfolio. I mistakenly thought it would only take a few hours. It is more involved than I realized. I decided to write an introduction sheet for each of the chapters. This way anyone reading it will be aware of the subject. Looking forward to seeing the final product.
