Our monthly Stem program was all about storms tonight at the library. We talked about tornadoes and made a tornado in a jar and made a snowstorm in a bottle too. They had a chance to make the sound of thunder using a thunder tube. Starting July 1, sign up for our next Stem all about volcanoes which takes place on July 15 for ages 3-6..

We traveled to American Samoa tonight where we discovered the most unusual U.S. territory, a political anomaly, where the laws out of Washington DC hold very little weight. William McKinley, desperate to control part of Samoa, negotiated with the Matai, the chiefs. The chiefs, ever mindful of the future of Samoa, would sign the deeds of cessation only if their rules and laws would remain in place. President McKinley accepted the terms with the caveat that they will not become U.S. citizens, but rather nationals. Thus American Samoa became a territory. We tasted the flavors of Samoa, heard legends and myths of the region, and painted their beautiful hibiscus flowers. Next month we travel to the American southwest.

We had sunshine and lots of creativity this morning at the library. Kids did some rock painting, weaving crafts with cardboard, shadow drawing, ribbon sticks and more. Great job everyone! Thank you to Abby with Mentors For Youth for being here today too!
