Busy week this week.
Kip had a short sports camp at the school in the mornings.
Kip got a haircut. I got my REAL ID. And we got rain 4/5 days.
The kids went to the library several times this week. I'll have to do another post about it but I'm just so confused by the summer reading programs for this generation. Why isn't it broken down into age groups? Is it reasonable to ask a 5 year old to read 1500 minutes to complete the program?
Anyways, our town library had a fun live animal event and a wooden plane craft and racing.
Both kids are in swimming lessons at the YMCA. The first week Ivy was miserable in a large class with a lot of kids that liked to splash. She as really uncomfortable and wasn't getting anything out of it. We decided to switch both kids into a private session with one of the really great instructors and it is working out SO much better. Kip is making huge progress and Ivy is getting more than 3 minutes of instruction time. Definitely worth the extra cost.
I feel like summer is slipping away! AHHHHH. But it's only been one month!
Gosh that seems totally unreasonable and unattainable. That’s 25 hours! Our program requires the Birth to Third grade to read 20 books or have 20 books read to them. They can be board books, easy books chapter books, whatever appeals to the kids at this age. After 10 the get a free small drink from the drug store soda fountain down town. After 15 the get to pick from the treasure chest(WooHoo junk toys can really bring excitement). After 20 they are finished. They qualify to come to the swimming party at the end of the summer and will get a t-shirt and a book. I sure do wish you guys lived here❤️
ReplyDeleteI wish we had a library like yours! That is SO much more achievable for a kid and something fun to look forward to at the end!
