I am a part-time librarian at a Reform congregation. I meet with the K,1,2, & 3rd graders once a month and read them a story and they have the opportunity to take out a book.
This past year we changed the program and had a theme for the year. This past year (2003-2004) our theme has been Israel. We are having a mesibah (library party) for these grades as a culminating event. There will be games & candy. We are giving each child a pinwheel with Jewish stars on them. We would like to attach a sign that has a catchy phrase such as: "Read Jewish books," "Jewish books are fun to read." Can anyone suggest a catchy phrase we might use? Next question: Next years theme is "Isaac Bashevis Singer." I will be reading his stories to the students and discussing his life. I would like to have the 2nd & 3rd grade students work cooperatively to make a bulletin board/mural around his stories. It would be a "work in progress." Does anyone have any suggestions about how I might go about doing this? Thank you for your help. Last year when I needed Israeli book ideas, I received a lot of help. Thank you.
