This weekend our school district decided to have a mid-winter break. I think it is the most stupid thing I've heard. This weekend happens to be President's Day weekend and added to that one day the school is giving the kids the Thursday and Friday before too. Stupid!!! I can see maybe the friday but the thursday too. Really?
Anyway, I was reading the Disney FamilyFun magazine and there was this cute idea for a book party. Invitations and all centered around books. I love it! However, I'm not having a party this weekend centered on books, but I do have lots of books for the kids and they have lots of time.....So I made the library cards from the website and have given my children the task of filling it up.
Once filled they will be able to choose a prize. This card is good all weekend and if filled I will issue a new one. The amounts of prizes really are only limited to how fast they can read.
Rules are simple:
1. Read books
2. Get stamp of approval from parent
3. Earn prizes
Now for Ben and Chris I did add a little twist. They can only read one easy book per card. The rest are filled by reading (10 for Chris and 15 for Ben) pages out of a chapter book.
My house is now quiet with reading. Ahhhh pure bliss!
