  • Winnie the Pooh Study Guide
    PLAZA THEATRICAL PRODUCTIONS Winnie the Pooh Study Guide Dear Teacher: We have created the following study guide to help make your students’ theater experience with Winnie the Pooh as meaningful as possible. For many, it will be their first time viewing a live theatrical production. We have learned that when teachers discuss the play with their students before and after the production, the experience is more significant and long-lasting. Our study guide provides pre- and post-performance discussion topics, as well as related activity sheets. These are just suggestions. Please feel free to create your own activities and areas for discussion. We hope you and your class enjoy the show! Background In 1926, A.A. Milne wrote Winnie-the-Pooh for his son, Christopher Robin Milne. On his first birthday, Christopher received a stuffed toy he called Edward, and who was later re-named Winnie (after a black bear at the London zoo), and Pooh (after a swan, as mentioned in a poem in Milne’s When We Were Very Young.) Other characters in the story were based on Christopher’s other stuffed animals, including the donkey Eeyore, Kanga and Baby Roo, and Piglet. Owl and Rabbit were inspired by animals who lived in the forest nearby. Illustrator Ernest H. Shepard based the look of his drawings on Christopher Robin Milne and his toys. The original stuffed animals are currently on display at New York City’s Donnell Public Library. Pre-Performance Discussion 1. Read A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh with your students. Much of the dialogue (and many of the songs’ lyrics) come directly from Milne’s writing, and children will enjoy hearing the familiar words and turns of phrase.

DESCRIPTORS Grants; *Hospitalized Children; Hospital Libraries; *Library Services; *Outreach Programs; *Pediatrics; *Public Libraries; *Reading Aloud to Others; Volunteers ABSTRACT This report describes Book Buddies, a volunteer-based outreach project of the San Francisco Public Library, whose goal is to provide reading services and to promote reading aloud to children and their families in San Francisco hospitals and pediatric clinics. The introduction chronicles the need for such a program; offers background information on the San Francisco Public Library's involvement with hospitals; describes steps taken to set up Book Buddies; and outlines six project objectives. Various facets of the program are then discussed: (1) the implementation of the project; (2) recruitment and training of volunteers to read and tell stories to hospitalized children; (3) the introduction of Dial-a-Story lines in Spanish and Cantonese; (4) the publication of a newsletter as a vehicle of communication among those involved in the project; (5) the evaluation of the program; and (6) the continuation of funding beyond the grant period. Recommendations for setting up similar programs, particularly for other libraries and communities that wish to commit themselves to serving the needs of hospitalized children and their families, conclude the report. The appendixes, which make up the major part of this document, contain sample materials used by the project, including copies of the newsletter, bibliographies, correspondence, forms for evaluating volunteer training, and the "Book Buddies Volunteer Handbook."

  • Summer Reading List
    Dear KDS Parents, Summer is here! And summer is a great time to read, whether it’s during an early quiet morning on the porch, a long lazy afternoon by the pool, or a cool firefly-filled evening in the backyard. We all need some “down time,” especially our kids with all the activities of the school year and summer. Escaping into the pages of a good book is a wonderful way to relax and recharge! Attached is a list of teacher recommended titles, divided by grade, to give you and your child a place to start. If your child finds an author he or she particularly likes, look for more books by that person. Making time for reading is a lifelong skill that can be developed at any age. To help you get started, here are some strategies of a reading family: 1. Read to your child. Read frequently and consistently, no matter the child’s age or reading ability. Research shows that children who are read to become better readers and develop better vocabularies. 2. Let your child see you read, whether it is the newspaper, a magazine or novel. Your own example is most valuable. 3. Encourage your children to read to others, whether it’s to siblings, to you, to grandparents, friends & neighbors, pets or even their stuffed animals. 4. Take your child to the public library to obtain his or her own library card! Use that card often and participate in any number of the wonderful summer reading programs in the area! 5. Frequent the many wonderful bookstores around St.
