FALL 2014

As children prepare for another school year of reading and writing, DISCOVERY Children’s Museum presents its own special travel exhibit learning environment aimed to build literacy skills in Nevada’s youngest learners.

According to the National School Readiness Indicators Initiative, early literacy is a key indicator of school readiness in young children. As children develop, literacy is highly correlated with school achievement and is essential to lifelong learning. The museum’s latest traveling exhibit is literacy-based and provides children with essential book-based experiences while equipping their parents with messaging and tools to promote literacy. Storyland: A Trip Through Childhood Favorites will run through January 4, 2015.

Storyland transforms seven beloved and award-winning picture books – The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter; The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats; Where’s Spot? by Eric Hill; If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff; Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault; Abuela by Arthur Dorros; and Tuesday by David Wiesner – into three dimensional, bi-lingual (English and Spanish) play and learning environments that highlight the six pre-reading skills defined by the Public Library Association and Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association: disposition to read, print awareness, letter knowledge, sound awareness, vocabulary, and narrative skills and comprehension.

Children can explore literacy skills and concepts through imaginative, interactive experiences and are encouraged to reflect on their Storyland experience by creating a drawing inspired by the books and writing a caption, title or story. A digital Drawing Cam captures the paper image and visitors can add it to an electronic gallery of other postcards for visitors to see and email it home as a souvenir of their experience at Las Vegas’ favorite children’s museum.

The Museum is collaborating with Spread the Word Nevada and will be holding a Book Drive for this literacy-dedicated non-profit during the entire run of the traveling exhibit. If visitors bring new or gently used books for donation to the Book Drive they will receive a $2 discount off general admission.

MasqueradeBallA HEART OF OUR OWN!DISCOVERY Children’s Museum recently was gifted the Michael Godard “Color The World With Your Imagination” heart from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Traveling Hearts of Las Vegas 2013 Collection. It’s permanently displayed at the entrance to the museum. The colorful statue is three-dimensional and fi ve feet tall weighing in at 400 pounds. It was crafted by local artist Michael Godard who was inspired to become involved with St. Jude’s through his family’s journey with pediatric cancer.

Godard had this to say about his creation, “This heart celebrates human life, the imagination each of us is born with, which is the child in all of us that never ages. We are the only species on the planet with the ability to draw. Crayons introduce us to our fi rst opportunity to explore and creatively express our feelings and thoughts with color and shapes. Although each of us is as diff erent as every color in a crayon box, art is a universal language around the globe that everyone can share regardless of age, ethnicity, or social status. Whenever we are sharing the ideas in our hearts with others, we are creating a colorful future. On the wings of imagination hopes and dreams become reality.”
