Brentwood Library Internship Week Four



On Tuesday, I spent the day finalizing my craft idea for my story time that will happen in August.  Originally, I had this craft that is made out of several toilet paper tubes, but the site I found did not give specific directions, and neither my supervisor nor I could figure out how to do it. So, I continued searching for a craft that was somewhat like it and I found this one. What I really liked about this particular craft is that children can blow through the back of it, causing the streamers to go up, which would look like the dragon is blowing fire. I liked this because it will go with my story time’s theme of imagination. 

On Thursday, I focused on my toddler tub. The subject of this particular toddler tub is Farm Animals #1. This is much simpler than coming up with your very own story time because there are already books and activities in the tub. The only things I need to do are come up with a few songs and write up the directions for the other library branches. However, when my supervisor looked in the tub, she didn’t like some of the activities because they were poorly made.

On Friday, I mostly focused on trying to complete the Farm Animals #1 toddler tub. I had to find pictures to go along with the Old MacDonald song. There were cut out pictures taped to popsicle sticks already in the tub, but they were not very nice looking. After I picked out some pictures for that, I found a cute little rhyme about colors and chicks that used the felt board. So the next thing I had to do was find some felt and cut out some chick figures. I was only able to find several of the colors needed, though. Next, I was able to spend some time on the desk and I helped my supervisor sterilize some of the toys and exchange them out for new ones.
