| (LS) The local group that is calling itself "Terrific Transitions" has put together a book that will help ease the anxiety of starting kindergarten. Both parents & children can feel some degree of anxiousness as the first day of school approaches so the chairman of this group, Steve Schaaf, helped develop a book to introduce pre-schoolers to the world of kindergarten. The book, "Fun with Kindergarten" was based on a book Lewistown Elementary developed for its kindergarten. It includes stories & pictures of local kids explaining what happens at school--everything from the roll call to the playground. The books are avialable at the main Mifflin Co. Library branch. In additions, each library branch has copies of the books from the elementary schools in its area. |
