Little ones learn about, celebrate Arbor Day
Kindergartener Christopher Lakin helps his mother, Theresa, left, a member of the Long Hill Garden Club, ready the seedlings and book with Kara Canney, right, children’s librarian, for the Kindergarten Club meeting.
The Trumbull Library’s Kindergarten Club and the Long Hill Garden Club joined together for an Arbor Day celebration on April 24 in the Children’s Room.
Kara Canney, children’s librarian, read the story “Franklin Plants a Tree” to the eager kindergarteners. In the book, Franklin has grand ideas about the tree he is going to receive at an Earth Day celebration. He is disappointed with his sapling, but learns to take care of his tree.
The children worked diligently on a seed craft and at the end of the session, each child went home with a blue spruce sapling provided by the garden club. Arbor Day was April 30.
