Then the was a musical show by Turtle Dance Music  that used songs and dancing to teach about space. Miss Rachel and Mr. David had the children learn the words to songs at told fact on a number of subject. Some songs included the name and size of the different planets in the Solar System. Dance moves moves mimic basic principles of physics. There were also rhymes using the names of well known scientists and Astronauts.  On of the last exercises the Student took part in was to lay quietly on the floor looking up to the ceiling. Then the participants needed imagine it was a moon-lite night and they were looking off into space. Miss Rachel and Mr. David blowing bubbles to simulate the many stars that could be seen. They wanted the student to dream of what it will be like to travel in space, and what they need to learn to make that a possibility.  Finally   there was a small quiz about what they had just learn. Their answers were sampled and turned into on more song.

Library Reading

24-June-2019
   On Saturday-22-June the Bogota Public Library held its first Mighty Read event. This was an hour of Local officials taking time to read books to the young Students of the Borough. The Children sat on the floor in a arc to listen to various stories read to them. Library Director Chelsea Coleman started the hour of reading with " Otter in Space"  She was followed by Bogota Mayor Chris Kelemen. Then came Bogota Police Chief Daniel Maye and after him was Isabel Bustamante from Bogota Beautiful. Ms. Bustamante's book was written in Spanish, which she translated  into English as she read. She mentioned that is a way to not only hear about other cultures, but to learn a new language at the same time. 
   At the halfway time Children's Director Tom Skrinch gave the listeners a chance to stretch legs by leading them in a Banana Dance. The re-energized audience then were ready for more stories.  Another Bogota Police Officer Lewis Dueñas stopped by to read before going out on Patrol.  The Bogota Board of Education President Lisa Kohles shared a book about the "Cat in the Hat" in space. Then Amrau Bustamante, also from Bogota Beautiful,  read the story about how two stray dogs in Moscow became the first mammals to successfully fly into space and returned safely.  
   The theme of the books that were chosen were about Outer Space to coincide with the Libraries Summer Reading program "A Universe of Stories".  This is now running until Saturday -7-September, and open to the public. They have three categories: Kids, upto age 11.
