PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE CAREFULLY AND CONTACT LISA
ALBERS AT
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.
Greetings Librarians,
During the spring semester, Iowa Public Television (IPTV)
and the State Library of Iowa are sponsoring a FREE series of five (5)
ICN events called Stories & More featuring stories and activities
that center on a monthly theme to institutions and programs that work
directly with
Iowa's preschool through Kindergarten children.
Stories & More sessions are offered twice (9:30-10:15
a.m. and 10:30-11:15 a.m.) on the second or third Wednesday of each
month. Registrants are encouraged to register for all five of the
monthly events in the spring semester Stories & More series. It is
not necessary for the same children to attend every session.
Spring 2006 themes include:
Wednesday, January 18 - Stories & More: ABC's
Wednesday, February 15 - Stories & More: Physical
Activity
Wednesday, March 15 - Stories & More: Food
Wednesday, April 12 - Stories & More: Environment
Wednesday, May 17 - Stories & More: Diversity
What are libraries responsible to do?
1. Register for each of the ICN events that you would like
your library to participate in. We encourage you to sign up for the
entire series! See the "Registration Directions" listed further down in
this email.
2. Get a group of PK-first grade children (ages 4-7) to
participate for an ICN site in your community. Some libraries have
contacted preschools in their communities to participate in the
sessions.
3. Be in the ICN classroom for each event as a
monitor/helper to the children from the community. If you don't have an
ICN room in your library, you can still participate in this
opportunity, but you will
need to make sure the ICN room you are using is expecting
your group of children and you are responsible for supervision.
4. Provide minimal materials, like paper, pencil, crayons,
markers, or scissors for the session participants at your local site.
Each session has a little bit different list of materials that will be
used at your local site during the ICN session for the planned
activities.
How do I register my library to participate?
