Yes I Can

YES I CAN! is designed to help children raise their self-esteem and believe in themselves.  High self esteem is, of course, necessary for success now and later in life. 

HOW THIS PROGRAM WORKS:

     The assembly program is 45 minutes in length and is excellent for kindergarten through sixth grade.  Through magic, puppetry and story telling, children will learn three important life-changing messages; these are:

1. It's not what you look like on the outside that matters, it's who you are on the inside that counts.  Children are 'hammered' with the importance of looks through media and advertising.  In school, it's even worse. Kids are picked on because they're too tall or too short, too skinny or to fat.  They're made fun of if they don't wear the "right" clothes.  It's vital that children learn that looks are superficial and that it's not what you look like but rather the kind of person you are that makes the difference.

2. You can do anything in life you want as long as you believe in yourself.  Napoleon Hill said, "Whatever the mind of man can conceive, he can achieve."  This is true, isn't it?  Yet, the sad truth is, that many kids are told daily that they can't or won't succeed, that they are dumb, and that they never do anything right.  YES I CAN will plant the seeds of confidence in children and help them to believe in themselves.

3. Never, ever give up.  This is closely related to belief number two.  Let's face it, you can try your hardest and not succeed.  This is something that kids need to realize.  But they must also know the importance of not giving up after a set back, that they must keep trying if they are going to succeed.  Thomas Edison failed 1,000 times before he successfully invented the light bulb. Abraham Lincoln failed many, many times before he was elected President.  Kids need to know these things so they will be motivated to go for it!

1. IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ EVERY DAY,
2. YOU CAN GROW UP TO BE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO BE IF YOU ARE A GOOD READER, and
3. YOU NEED TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR BOOKS.

HOW THIS PROGRAM WORKS:

     The magic words, "I LOVE TO READ", are repeated several times by the children throughout the program.  This program is full of surprises, smiles, and good clean fun for the children.  During the program--much to everyone's surprise and delight--Richard brings out his special assistant SNOWBALL, a real-live, Netherlands dwarf rabbit.  As Richard and Snowball complete the program they review the three main points.  This program also increases the awareness of your students to the many opportunities that their library has to offer through books, videos, music, and special programming.
