Here comes SUMMER!!! We are saying goodbye to friends... some are just leaving for the summer, others are moving away. We will be taking our "summer trip" to Texas/Oklahoma in August, when most of our friends will be coming back for school. But I plan to continue having the kids work on Math & Reading throughout the next few months. Wish I could say they are thrilled about reading & Math!
I found a great idea to help motivate my kids to read this summer. I found a calendar here. The idea came from a blog at Women Living Well. Courtney recommends using stickers to represent the time spent reading which equals money. I'm going to give this a try. The money Courtney's kids earn for reading can be spent at Books A Million. (I'll let mine spend theirs at Book Depository or another bookstore, since we don't have a Books a Million here).
I hope this helps my reluctant readers... do you have anything that works for you?
We are looking forward to Vacation Bible School next week.
May God bless your summer!
