Children were read stories, learned about June Dairy Month, and got to make paper spaceships during Thursday’s Summer Reading Club Program at Justin Potter Library.
Lisa Cripps, Coordinator of the DeKalb Prevention Coalition, read two picture story books to the kids including one called “We are all Wonders” which helps teach children to be seen for who they truly are.
In conjunction with this year’s summer reading program theme about space and June Dairy Month, 4-H agent Leigh Fuson and DeKalb June Dairy Month Chairman Lily Martin shared a picture story book called “Space Cows” and showed objects representing food items like cheese, rice, fruit among others and asked the kids to identify which of them were actually dairy products.
Elise Driver, Coordinator of the DeKalb County Coordinated School Health Program and Megan Kinslow of the DeKalb County Health Department helped the kids prepare paper cutouts of space ships which they colored and assembled.
