In Summer!

"Bees that buzz. Kids that blow dandelion fuzz, and I'll be doing whatever snow does in summer!" (Frozen music is permanently ingrained in my head! Help!)

Ah, Summer! 
Pools
Beaches
Zoos
Flowers
Sleeping in
and summer reading


In the past we have been members of a large, heavily funded library in the county next to ours which has a phenomenal summer reading program with bags, stickers, bookmarks and tons of coupons for free food at local stores as the prizes. Since we did not pay what I consider to be an overly large amount of money for that membership this year and since our small, privately funded library cannot afford anything so extreme, I have decided to come up with my own program. 

Gwen has a LARGE summer long goal of 4,000 pages and will receive a $25 Barnes and Noble gift card for reaching that goal. 

She also gets smaller prizes every 400 pages (Maximum of one per week!) which include things like a free water ice at the local ice cream place, a new game on our tablet, and a trip to YoGo.

What do your kids do for summer reading?
