Book Party

Last school year I gave Brogan a reading challenge to inspire her to read more. The challenge...Read 100 books during the school year. It could be any book as long as it was approved by me and on her reading level. After each book was read she completed a slip of construction paper that had the title and author of the book on one side and her favorite part of the book on the other. We made a chain out of the links and hung it up in the living room. At first she didn't think she could do it, but as she started filling out the links and the chain grew she gained confidence in herself and her reading ability. Not to mention had tons of practice in handwriting and math. Before the school year was complete she had read all 100 books! The Reward...She had her book party this weekend! She was so excited and planned some great activities for her friends to do. They made book bags and bookmarks, played outside, ate ice cream sundaes and each girl went home with an American Girl book of her own. Here they are with their completed bags... I hope all of her friends had a great time, I know she did. She is already planning her next book reward for this school year. The challenge is the same...100 books from September to May. Let's see if she is up to the challenge!
