Snack and Story Time: ICE CREAM EVERYWHERE

on
by Marci Whitehurst As the last threads of summer weave into autumn, it’s fun to savor some of our favorite summer activities. Without question, one of our favorite activities is eating ICE CREAM!

Of course, ice cream can be eaten all year long, but with the hottest temperatures of the year waning, we’re enjoying this cool treat with the last of our hot temps. Did you know that ice cream is eaten all over the world and can even be eaten at breakfast?! Plus, it has different names in a variety of countries. How do I know? I read a book, of course!

Gather with various cultures around the world as they celebrate sharing ice cream together—and the traditions surrounding this treat! DISCUSS : What is your favorite kind of ice cream? Why? W

Story Time Idea: CROSSINGS by Katy Duffield

on


A story idea that will complement this week's "wilderness" Summer Challenge theme! Read Crossings: Extraordinary Structures for Extraordinary Animals by Katy Duffield, illustrated by Mike Orodán. Talk about the various structures in the book, and what animal you would choose to protect in this way if you could. Then build your own "crossing" out of blocks or other materials.
