Library Week Day 3 with Awak ECE School Visitors

AWAK ECE TO CLOSE THE TOURING PHASE OF LIBRARY WEEK!

We have our farthest visitor's on the roster Awak ECE students! We were absolutely delighted to see our little visitors arriving and marveling at the facility whilst reciting, "The library is for reading silently!" Our adorable tourists were welcomed at the gates and led in by Ms. Erika Billen (Library Technician), Welter Johnny (Library Aide) and Mihla Henry (Custodian). Ms. Billen along with the staff and families of the little visitors brought the kids in and had a casual introduction in the kids' section with Trueleen Albert (Head Librarian) and Emy Charlie (Assistant Librarian) leading the pleasantries.

Awak ECE's Enjoying the tales. (April 24th 2024)

Today's reading was very exciting! The kids enjoyed the a lovely story about The Very Hungry Caterpillar after a nice stretching rhyme since the car ride must have been very long in the morning. The energetic little beans enjoyed the stretch and were up for the story time. The kiddos were adding their own accounts of butterflies and counting fruits until the story's end.

After the story reading the little explorers marched over to the clear area where Ms. Billen commenced the Whisper game. During the story, certain items were high lighted for the kids to remember since it would be used within the game. It started with everyone in a cicrle where the high lighted words were whispered along for the last student to then look through the darwings on the the floor to identy the item that was whispered to them. This game helps the kids see the importance of connectivity through communication and attention. The excited munchkins were having a blast with the game until the entire pile finished.

As the visit came to an end, the beaming children got their gift bags and were ready to use their coloring books and bubbles. They made their way onto their bus and were waved off by the PPL Staff. The PPL Board Members would like to thank the Principal, staff and families that took the time to come by and join us. Kalahngan en kupwuromwail!
