Thrive Thursday November 2014 Placeholder (1 yr. anniversary!)
Here’s your chance to participate in this month’s school age programming blog hop! If you have an amazing program to share please post a link in the comments section below and I’ll post a compilation on November 6. By the way, this post is the one-year anniversary post! I’ve met so many great people through this community and look forward to expanding more this year.
For more information check out the schedule, Pinterest board, and Facebook Group.
If you need me to host you or have any questions, email me at lisamshaia at gmail.com.
I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Happy Thriving!
Inspired by Jbrary’s book character roundup, I had a Numeroff party: https://thriveafterthree.com/2014/10/27/if-you-give-numeroff-party-for-the-school-age/
I’m partnering with a local elementary school to make their makerspace a reality.

I partnered with the Humane Society to put on this super popular program: http://tweenbrarian.blogspot.com/2014/09/community-helpers-humane-society-school.html
What color do you imagine when you think of the statues from ancient Greece? White? That’s what most people will say, but recent research reveals that the ancients loved color! We had fun re-exploring history (great for our “Lightning Thief” fans) with this program “Picture This: Art Exploration For Kids: Gods in Color – New views of the Art of Ancient Greece” http://carolsimonlevin.blogspot.com/2014/03/picture-this-art-exploration-for-kids_8.html
In October we had two super fun programs, Glow in the Dark http://mondaymadnesslibraryprogram.blogspot.com/2014/10/glow-in-dark.html and Minecraft http://mondaymadnesslibraryprogram.blogspot.com/2014/10/minecraft.html. We are going to have another Minecraft program in the summer since we had a total of 79 kids come to the two programs we offered!
A Super-nerdy DOAWK party: http://brycedontplay.blogspot.com/2014/10/built-in-self-regulation-doawk-book.html

I can’t believe it’s been a YEAR of quality school-age programming! Love being introduced to all these new blogs.
