Inspiration

These two storytime blogs from amazing children's librarians in Chicago really put my blog to shame ;)
 (though, if I'm lucky enough to get a full time children's librarian position, I'll aspire to make mine as involved as their blogs).


 They have great ideas for flannel boards, including something they call "Flannel Friday." They also make their own boards and include resources, tips, and templates. Included are action rhymes, activities, songs, stories, and books to pair with the flannel boards.

She has a whole curriculum of lesson plans and does a craft with her daughter every day. They cover letters, transportation, holidays, weather, etc. using an assortment of stuff.
