FYI,
All children’s librarians or public library staff working with young children are invited to attend a
free training led by early literacy consultant Saroj Ghoting entitled:
Science and Math for Everyone! Exploring Science and Math Concepts Through Storytimes
on Tuesday, September 27, 2016. This all-day training (9 am – 4:30 pm) will be held at the Bridgewater Library branch of the Somerset County Library System, 1 Vogt Drive., Bridgewater, NJ 08807.
After participating in this training, you will be able to:
·
Identify how science and math concepts support STEM education and early literacy
·
Identify how they support common core and early learning standards
·
Identify how traditional storytimes can support these concepts
·
Learn how to help adults incorporate them into daily conversations and activities with their young children
·
Gain an understanding of scientific and mathematical thinking of newborns to children age five
·
Build on traditional storytimes to explore strategies and techniques to support science, math and early literacy
Date & Time: Tuesday, September 27, 2016, 9 am – 4:30 pm
(breakfast and snacks will be provided, lunch is on your own)
*** Please bring a written storytime plan and the actual books you use with you to the training. The storytime should be a traditional storytime, not one with a
science or math theme/topic. If you do not do storytimes, please bring two books that preschoolers would enjoy.
Space is limited to 50 attendees.
