Fall Garden Storytime
Program: Fall Garden Storytime
Description: In these LIVE storytimes, we will read wonderful garden-themed books with a social emotional focus and have a “show and tell” about interesting plants. Both teachers and students will love these interactive learning sessions! Let’s fall into gardening together! Join us to learn more about all the sizes and shapes that pumpkins can grow to be and the many ways this delicious food can be used during this time of year.
Story: Farm Boots by Lisl H. Detlefsen — Grab your boots, it’s time to explore life on a farm! We’re kicking off Garden Storytime with a visit to the farm, where gardening happens on a big scale to bring us the foods we enjoy. Farm Boots follows a diverse cast of farming families as they care for the crops and animals on their farms all year long, and bring in the autumn harvest to share!
