https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a It's time to start planning for the activities related to this year's theme and books! No idea is a bad idea, so jot any thoughts below. You might have some ideas that are more general in nature, and some that are related specifically to certain books. Thus, we added separate columns for each. en-us 2023-01-13 13:48:49 UTC 2023-01-25 02:20:37 UTC hello@padlet.com jwynkoop https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2443625528 Connect with the Brazilian Munchies food truck?]]> 2023-01-13 14:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2443625528 jwynkoop https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2444373248 Should we reach out to Downtown Bellefonte about perhaps working with local restaurants to create a tasting event centered around some of the recipes in Heirloom kitchen? ]]> 2023-01-14 15:36:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2444373248 jwynkoop https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2444373622 The author of the book suggested a virtual cooking class that she could lead for interested community members. There of course would be a cost associated. Do you think people would be willing to pay to participate? If so, how much?]]> 2023-01-14 15:37:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2444373622 jwynkoop https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2444569087 Maybe encourage neighborhoods to host a "Progressive Dinner" where they make dishes from the cookbooks and read aloud the story that goes along with each dish?]]> 2023-01-15 04:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2444569087 https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2445632742 Host after school "book club" at the elementary schools for students in grades 3-5. ]]> 2023-01-16 13:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2445632742 https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2445634812 Each day leading up to the Book Celebration we post a Discovering Your Roots prompt to encourage engagement with our posts and family discussions at home (perhaps around the dinner table 😉). ]]> 2023-01-16 13:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2445634812 jwynkoop https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2451626974 2023-01-20 23:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2451626974 https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2455522886 "What's in a Name?"

-make a sign/plaque with their last name using random precut letters?? ]]> 2023-01-25 01:14:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2455522886 https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2455527756 Have trays (or something much bigger?) with a thin layer of salt or sugar, and kids (and adults) can practice writing in the salt/sugar. 

This could be a good thing to have available for kids in a station about Salt & Sugar. 

Lots of small trays available for people to use....or a giant one where everyone can write?

If you find Bud, you can tell a committee member where you saw him and you get a sticker or lollipop or bookmark or something like that. When my kids were little and we'd go to Trader Joe's they'd always look for Leo the Lion (a stuffed Nittany Lion). If we told a worker where we found him, they'd get a lollipop. The library is doing something like this these days too -- I think you have to find Olaf. :)]]> 2023-01-25 01:30:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2455533435 https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2455544435 Teach people to make origami fortune cookies.

Have people write fortunes first, then teach them how to make the origami cookies, then invite them to give them to someone else as a gift.

Maybe Miss Lana (sp?) or someone she knows could present??  What about a Kahoot about Brazil? What about doing a Brazil bingo activity after the brief presentation?

We'd want people who are good storytellers. ;) We could have it set up like people are sitting around a pretend campfire, or people are seated in a circle and the storyteller is seated in a rocking chair maybe? Make it cozy/homey.

We could share resources to help/encourage families to share their family stories at home.  ]]> 2023-01-25 02:17:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2455564066 https://padlet.com/jwynkoop/ydepuha6jyz3zm6a/wish/2455566533 Create a slide show with the daily prompts we've been sharing on social media.
