Little Libraries Installed and Stocked Four LCCAA Head Start centers now have Little Free Libraries thanks to volunteers from Avient Corporation and the United Way of Greater Lorain County.
Avient employees installed a total of 15 libraries throughout the county on Sept. 28. Little Free Library is a national free book exchange that encourages individuals and families to take a book and leave a book. Millions of books are exchanged every year worldwide. Little Free Libraries were installed at the Central Plaza, Griswold, Hopkins-Locke and LaGrange Head Start centers. Each installation includes notations on how to get more information about Head Start. While Head Start students were on fall break, management staff spent an afternoon at United Way of Lorain County working in groups to prepare books to be distributed to Little Free Libraries throughout the county. More than 450 books were delivered to 30 different locations.
Groovy Joe: Dance Party Countdown
Groovy Joe: Dance Party Countdown by Eric Litwin is a book to get you up on your feet counting and getting some physical activity. Find creative ways to help preschoolers use their energy and learn at the same time. Head Start implements I’m Moving, I’m Learning, which is exactly that: adding PE to academic skills.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children 2 to 6 years old have one hour or less of non-academic screen time per day. We need to remind kids that “old-fashioned play” is more fun than a tablet! Look for Litwin’s Groovy Joe books at your local public library.
