Lakeshore Contest!!!

I entered Lakeshore's Summer Learning Photo Contest

The pictures that get the most "likes" will win Lakeshore Gift Cards.

I would love to let my children pick out some fun learning games or art materials for home...

Reading Challenge

At the beginning of May I proposed a Reading Challenge to my Kindergarten friends.

If they could work together to read 180 books

(the number of days we have Kindergarten)...

then I would throw them a pizza party.

They were SO EXCITED about the challenge. It was a wonderful way to keep my growing readers engaged for the last few weeks of school. 

I believe they ended up reading the 180 books in 8 or 9 days!!!!

WAY TO GO KINDERGARTEN FRIENDS!

I am SO proud of the great readers you have become.

Don't forget to sign up for the public library's reading challenge... and keep reading all summer long!!
