The parents at Gracepoint Riverside church are getting super skilled at capturing reading snapshots of their kiddos. Not sure if Anna wants Ian to share, or if she’s waiting for him to read aloud, but he’s really into the tactile elements of the book he’s got there!
Go ninja go! Reading is totally awesome, dude.
Happy 2016! Oh-my-lanta, I didn’t realize it’s been almost a month since I posted last. I committed one of the biggest blogging no-no’s, so I suppose that puts me out of the running for the best church library blog award. Actually, Bibliopolis went dark off-line as well, since we ended 2015 with a certain Acts 2 virus in every college town.
But we’re back! For all the parents at Gracepoint Berkeley church, we have an updated Spring 2016 schedule for our after-school times, so please be sure to check if you haven’t already.
It was great to introduce a lot of our friends from various Gracepoint church plants to Bibliopolis at the end of the year. To make up for the dearth of cute kid posts, I give you a couple of good ones to start off 2016. 🙂
Ellie from Gracepoint Riverside church and Anna from Gracepoint San Diego church testing out the Bibliopolis rocking chair.
Ellie is adding to Gracepoint Riverside’s lead in the very unofficial “How Many Times Can We Be Featured on the Biblio-blog?” competition. And Anna’a appearance means Gracepoint San Diego is in it…to win it, perhaps? We’ll see…stay tuned.
We’ll end with the ones who came the furthest. That’s right, the stars of the Peng Family Reading video are back!
The kiddos had a blast hanging out, having Bibliopolis all to themselves for awhile. Listen to Isaac reading Uni the Unicorn by Amy Krause Rosenthal in Chinese! It looks bad that I’m scrolling through Flickr while the kiddos are reading, but I was leaving them to explore…yeah, that’s it!
Shameless call for content: If you have any photos or videos of goings on in Bibliopolis or other literacy practices during Auxano or winter break visits to Berkeley, please send them my way!
I have been receiving more and more pictures and videos of people “caught” reading, so I’m queueing them up. Some of you might think posting photos is taking the easy way out in terms of content, but these are really to inspire and motivate!
Today’s injection of “awwww” is from our youngest reader featured yet. Board books are a great way to introduce even our youngest kiddos to books, so that they can get their “print awareness” down. 🙂 Soon, if not already, little Juliet will want to hold the books herself, and turn the pages. She might start pointing at things and telling the story of what is happening. All of that is part of the process, and yes, “counts” as reading!
I like her angry focused look! Go Bruins!
