April Storytime

4/15/2024

 

Hello Friends!

I hope you enjoyed listening to A Few Beautiful Minutes: Experiencing a Solar Eclipse by Kate Allen Fox with pictures by Khoa Le. I think it is a beautiful book about the eclipse. Did you get to experience the total solar eclipse? It was a cloudy day here at the museum, but we saw a little bit of it!
Here is a picture of our view of the eclipse from the museum!

This month's activity

This month's activity helps us learn what happens when a total solar eclipse happens. 
You will need this printout, crayons or colored pencils, whole puncher, scissors, tape, two strips of construction paper that are the same size, and 4 paper fasteners.
Step 1. Color the sun, moon, and earth.

Step 2. Cut out the sun, moon, and earth.

​Step 3. Use the hole puncher to punch 1 hole in the center of the sun, moon, and earth. Ask an adult if you need help. 

Step 4. Use the hole puncher to punch 1 whole on each end of each strip of the constriction paper
.
Step 5. Using the holes in the sun and the moon, attach the moon to the sun using 1 piece of construction paper and 2 fasteners.

Step 6. Using the holes in the sun and the earth, attach the earth to the sun using the other piece of construction paper and 2 fasteners.

Step 7. Show how a total solar eclipse works by moving the moon in front of the sun. This is what happened on April 8th!

March Storytime

4/8/2024

 

Hi Friends!

I hope all of you enjoyed our March book Art and Joy: Best Friends Forever by Danielle Krysa. It is a truly wonderful book that tells us to make whatever art that brings us joy and not to listen to any art critics. 

The activity for this book is to create a piece of art that makes you HAPPY! Here is my artwork: 
Picture
I created a happy flower scene by using watercolors to create the background, 2 pipe cleaners to make the flower petals, 1 pipe cleaner to make the center of the flower, 2 straws to make the flower stems, and 3 cotton balls to make the clouds. I hope you make an artwork that brings you joy!

See you next time!
​Ms. Marissa
