Poland North Preschool students headed to the library on April 19 for story time and a craft.

Joy Bucci’s 2- and 3-year-olds made a trip to the Poland library for a change in their regular class day. The students got dropped of at the library and participated in a craft, story time and other activities with Poland librarian Vikki Peck.

The students started off with a craft and made a chicken out of construction paper, crayons and feathers. The chicken fit into the theme of the story time that Peck led afterwards. The students could either take home their chicken craft or put it on the tree that was in the library.

When the students finished their craft, they moved into another room for story time. Peck began story time with the “Hands go up, Hands go down” song, to the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” The books Peck read were about animals that live on farms, like the chicken the students made. “Cock-a-doodle-moo,” by Bernard Most. Story time ended with the students singing the song “Old McDonald.”

Bucci and her students enjoyed the nice day by walking back to their school after their story time activities.
