Billings Bookworms Week 6: How Chipmunk Got His Stripes

Join the Billings Bookworms! From July 12 through August 16, kids ages 6-8 are invited to Billings Farm & Museum each week to read about and explore a farm-themed topic. This is not just a book club! There are activities and crafts each week and Bookworms get to experience all the site has to offer.

Billings Bookworms Week 6: How Chipmunk Got His Stripes

10-10:30 Book reading and exploration. This week we’ll begin by reading How the Chipmunk Got His Stripes by Joseph Bruchac and James Bruchac, a Native American folktale. Each Bookworm will then pick a passage that stands out to them and write or draw about it. Everyone will have the chance to share what they’ve written or drawn about the story.

10:30-10:45 Snack time. Snack will be provided by Billings Farm & Museum. During snack we will complete the final chapter of Good Dog: Herd You Loud and Clear by Cam Higgins and Ariel Landy. Each week we will continue reading from this chapter book until it is finished on the last day of the club. The book is called Good Dog: Herd You Loud and Clear and is about a young herding dog working to bring in the sheep. 

10:45-11:30 Activity time. Today our Bookworms will set out on the Billings Farm & Museum walking trail to identify native plants and learn about the indigenous concept of Seven Generations.
