Homeschool Hour

The library meeting room is reserved every Thursday from 1-3 pm. Every third Thursday of the month, Ms. Amy, one of the Youth Services Librarians, will be leading the group activity. This will be different every month and will be a structured class time of art classes, cooking classes, science fairs, hands-on math games, etc. There will be two class times on Third Thursdays- one from 1-2pm for kids in upper elementary and middle grades and one from 2-3pm for the littles. 

The rest of the Thursdays are up for interpretation! Regular attendees of Homeschool Hour may sign up to lead activities on the clipboard located at the Children's Desk. Every week will be fun and full of variety, giving the homeschool community a chance for learning and connection. 

 

Special program dates:

  • Feb 16: Local debut author Brooke Saucier, author of The Isle of Stuck Faces, will be joining us to lead a drawing workshop. 
  • March 16: UW Space Place will present "Comets in the Classroom"at 1pm. Comets are often called "dirty snowballs". Find out where comets are in the solar system, what materials are in a comet, and the difference between comets and meteors. During the workshop, we will make the nucleus of a comet out of common materials such as dry ice, dirt, and water.
