ECRR @ STST branch

Hi everyone,
This past Thursday @ the St. Stephens Branch library I implemented the ECRR program by introducing the "Duck" literary prop box I had created during the early literacy class I took @ CVCC. Our theme this week for ToddlerTime and Preschool Storytime was "Ducks". The prop box was focused around Lauren Thompson's, "Little Quack". I explained at the 1st of each storytime how we were going to start using the ERRC information in each storytime based on the six principals of early childhood literacy. At the end of the storytime, while the children were coloring I showed the parents some of the different activities in the prop box. This is a good time for teaching through casual conversation with parents and caregivers. Several parents were going to look up the ECRR program on the internet. Next week is Cinco de Mayo, I haven't quite figured out what early literacy skill I want to reinforce, I'm thinking maybe vocabulary. I plan to use both english and spanish with this storytime.
Donna :)

Just curious what books you plan to use for Cinco de Mayo. That will probably be your best indicator for how to use ECRR. We are having box day over here. If you know anyone with extra boxes that they want to donate, let me know.-Amy
