Kindergarteners in Ms. Heptig’s class worked with art teacher Mrs. Apker to create dot art inspired by the book The Dot, by Peter H. Reynolds.
Students made their own dot creations by stamping paper with a variety of open and closed circle-shaped lids. Kindergarteners were able to explore different ways to stamp dots to create a design or picture of something they know

Words are one of the most important languages of love for babies and young children! One the best ways to give babies and children an abundance of engaging and loving words is through songs and stories.
Read-Along Love Songs for Baby, a new initiative of the Family Reading Partnership, features five charming books that are both songs and stories. The story songs are brought to life by good friends, musician John Simon, who sings, and educator, Cal Walker, whose rich, warm read-aloud voice is entertaining for both children and adults.
Babies, toddlers and preschoolers, and the families who come with them will love the rhyme, rhythm, and fun of the Read-Along Love Songs for Baby performance, as well as the beautiful illustrations of the 5 books that serve as the back drop for the performance.
This program is supported by funds from the New York State Library’s Family Literacy Library Services grant program.
