The Hannibal Parents As Teachers Program has announced that “Block Fest” will be coming to Hannibal on Friday, Sept. 24. This event is co-sponsored by the Parents As Teachers National Center in conjunction with the Hannibal public schools.
The free event will be held at the Shirley Bomar Center, 253 Munger Lane in Hannibal. Five one-hour long sessions are available - 10 to 11 a.m., 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., and 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Pre-registration is required. Contact the Parents As Teachers office, (573) 221-3054, to sign up for a session. One adult must accompany each child participating. Each session is limited to 40 children.
Block Fest is a fun-filled event for parents and children ages eight months to kindergarten entry. Children and parents will have the opportunity to visit five block stations and construct with unit, foam, wooden plank, brick, and unit blocks. Block play helps build confidence and creativity as a child generates and tries out new ideas. It also encourages independence, leadership, visual-spatial, and language skills. All these skills are needed for future school success.
This is one of two large group meetings being held this year for the Parents As Teachers Program. “Big Truck and Safety Night,” will be held on Monday, Oct. 4, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Hannibal Middle School’s front parking lot.
