ABC story time 大家來聽故事

For the last two weekends Angela joined an ABC Story Time activity at nearby Chang-An municipal library. This activity is totally free for children and parents, and there is no need to sign up beforehand. The ABC Story Time is held from 10:00 to 11:30 every Saturday morning and there are voluntary teachers who will read two short, interesting stories in English for children. The teacher usually picks stories a week before, but class activities are varied depending on participants' age and experience in class.

Last Saturday morning Angela and the other two little kids, both aged 3, joined this ABC Story Time class. The teacher read Ten Seeds and Olivia Saves the Circus two story books.


In the story Olivia is a lovely pig, which performs a lot of interesting shows in a circus. The teacher read the book and used auxiliary tools, e.g. puppet and pens to explain the story to the children.

After reading the story, the teacher provided some gittlery ornaments and asked parents to help children dress up Olivia .While Angela was not quite concentrated on the story, she did enjoy the class activity very much. See, Angela imitated the other girl and boy and used glue to fix the ornments on Olivia. All three children liked the activty and each one presented his/her work after the work was done.



At the end, the teacher gave children stickers to encourage their interest and participation. Here is Angela's lovely work done, mostly helped by Mommy, at class this morning.
