StoryTalk: Grades K-1
About
Join us for a three-part storytime series for students in kindergarten and first grade and their grown-ups, built around resilience and growth mindset. Led by lifelong Lincoln resident Greer Harnden, a Master of Education and former classroom teacher whose classroom experience centered on social-emotional learning. Come to one or all three: Wednesdays at 2:00, October 21, November 18, and December 16. Register for each program you plan to attend. Every child faces moments that feel too big, too hard, or too scary to try again: a frustration, a fall, a friend who doesn't understand .Together we'll read and talk through stories of falling down and getting back up, feeling different and shining anyway, and turning "I can't" into "I can't yet," with drawing activities woven throughout to help kids process and express what these moments feel like for them. Grown-ups will walk away with real language to reach for the next time your child hits a wall, a fall, or a hard "no I can't" — and every family will leave feeling a little more equipped, a little more connected, and a little more resilient together. October 21 - How to Solve a Problem by Ashima Shiraishi November 18 - After the Fall by Dan Santat December 16 - Superluminous by Ian De Haes Thank you to the Friends of the Lincoln Library for their programming support.
