Please describe the outcomes of your activity. What did you learn? What made you the most proud of the effort?

I set up my interactive Story Time circle and provided puppets for play engagement. I also read to 5 children during the time and had 3 parents attend the story time. One child and caregiver attended story time 2 times. During that time the crowd voted on the story being told and were engaged with the story. Children were engaged in different verbal and physical play with saying silly words and movement to imitate what was in the books.

From your perspective, what would be a good next step for the neighborhood in building engagement and momentom?

I feel that the location has more of an adult population and that maybe having a different neighborhood that has more children would be wise.

Also maybe having books that are classics that the adults are more familiar with to have them some and engage.
