Little One's Story Time: Little One's Story Time is designed for families with children 3-7 years of age but families with older and younger children are also welcome. It's a 1 hour zoom group split up into Story of the Week with small discussion lead by different staff and community members of AIC.The first 15-20 minutes will be designated to talk with parents about art activities and safe social distancing outdoor science activities families can do to further engage with each story's theme.Our goals are to jump-start early childhood literacy, support the cultural vitality and academic achievement of members of the Native American community, and build relationships among young community members and with allies within the Albany Park community and beyond, that disrupt cycles of misrepresentation and under representation of Native American cultures.We're spotlighting Native Authored books but may also include a few books from authors who spotlight marginalized and under-represented groups, as well.Right now we are collecting information for people who are interested to see what times would work best. If you are interested please fill out this form with the best availability.
