Summer Reading Program
Our library has a Summer Reading Program during the month of July. They really do a great job of making it fun for the kids. They have story times at the library most days during the month.
The read books, do a craft, they have a snack or get a treat when they leave, along with some little something, a book mark, a pencil topper, a pencil, a little animal, etc.
One week out of the month, the County Homemakers do the reading, and on Friday have a day camp, Picnic in the Park, held at a local park. They play games, read books, learn about nutrition, (this month was vegatables), do a craft, they usually go on a nature hike (this year was too wet), and they feed them lunch. This years craft was tie dyed shirts. That was a lot of fun! My hands were colored for DAYS, though! lol Some of us had our pics in the paper! Including me YIKES! lol
The theme for this years program was Dragons, Dreams, and Daring Deeds. For the party at the end, they went to the fire station and had Lunch with a Fireman. Captain Mike and Rookie Rob took them on a tour of the volunteer fire station. The kids saw a rescue vehicle, a large fire truck, and a pumper truck. They had hot dogs, melon, brownies, chips, milk, and koolaid for lunch in the fire station kitchen. Then they handed out the awards, and door prizes, they already had goodie bags on the tables. Abigail won 1st place in the little kid division (books read to them). She had 2,209 pages read to her. Her prize was a duffel bag with a little radio w/ headphones, and a water bottle in it. Zachary had 2,120 pages read to him. Hannah read 4,208 pages herself! Calen read 1,444 pages himself. That's a LOT for a beginning reader, who still says he can't read! The boy who won in their division (pages read by themselves) read 4,998 pages! WOW! (There were other kids who participated, also) The librians loved that these kids were so into reading! The kids had their pictures taken at the fire station in the newspaper.
The kids had a GREAT time, and can't wait until next year!
