SmartStart StoryStations
|
|
On July 20, 2022, at 8:45 a.m., there will be a brief ribbon cutting ceremony for the SmartStart StoryStations at Ramage Park. Also, students from Pike County Elementary School will get a chance to enjoy the new StoryStations.
The library was awarded an LSTA grant to fund the project. The StoryStations are set up along the walking trail at the park, which is within two blocks of the library. The StoryStations are made up of the following:
Periodically, books with similar themes will be swapped out, so that equipment can remain. This project reflects the library’s vision statement: “a place of lively interaction that offers hands-on learning, cultural experiences, exploration and discovery of a variety of subjects and issues.” All readers will profit from this multisensory experience. However, beginning readers and children with learning difficulties especially will benefit from a multi-sensory approach to reading. At the same time, StoryStations promote a venue for families to read and learn together. Last but not least, the project promotes the library!
The library was awarded an LSTA grant to fund the project. The StoryStations are set up along the walking trail at the park, which is within two blocks of the library. The StoryStations are made up of the following:
- A protected display of the book Humpty Dumpty, including the Spanish version. An exercise with rhyming words will reinforce learning. A stand with Humpty Dumpty on wall will provide fun and a photo opportunity. An activity with a board puzzle to put Humpty together again will add a tactile component. The question—Did Humpty Dumpty recover and get up? will add a cognitive skill.
- A display of the book On the Night You Were Born by Nancy Tillman with a ground-mounted telescope.
- A display of My Dad was a DJ by Dee Smith with a commercial outdoor musical instrument Serenade as a tactile part.
- Fourth, there will be a display of Dinosaur vs. the Library by Bob Shea with a Dinosaur Spring Rider and with an interactive map to guide families from the walking trail to Tupper Lightfoot Memorial Library.

in her granddaughter’s elementary school. Now she serves as a school reading tutor. Through the years, Marti has enjoyed teaching a variety of professional development classes, presenting at state conferences, serving as a Teacher Consultant for the National Writing Project, and training teachers across the country as a curriculum consultant for SundanceNewbridge, an educational publishing company. Her dog and two grandchildren keep her hopping, as they love spending time outdoors. She keeps herself hopping by reading, writing, and traveling. When she sits still, she enjoys her home in Marietta, GA.

of race and its effects on the life of our country. Along the way, Frye became fascinated by the heroes of that struggle, not only the icons like John Lewis, Rosa Parks, or Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., but by the thousands of lesser-known people who committed their lives to the cause of justice. In that context, he was honored to join Marti Rosner and KaArie Gillis in telling the story of Julius Rosenwald, a Jewish philanthropist in the early 20th century who worked with Booker T. Washington and grassroots leaders in more than 5,000 communities to change the face of African American education in the South. Gaillard's other books for young readers include Go South to Freedom and, with Marti, The Slave Who Went to Congress. He is also the author of A Hard Rain: America in the 1960s.
