books

We're doing the summer reading program at our house.
We have one very ambitios worker & another that needs a little (and sometimes a lot) poking and proding to do work. Then there are the younger ones that sort of follow along and do what they can when necc.

At the library the older 2 are getting their 2nd prizes for reading books, the younger 2 getting their first prizes:
child 3: (mad b/c he didn't get the same 1st prize that the older 2 got) ugh! I wanted a water bomb!
child 1: you are in a different reading group so you get different prizes. It's okay, we'll play with your prize on the slip'n'slide today.
child 3: ya, i am in a different group. i have to rent books and look at pictures. then i get prizes.


**honestly, i was shocked that he knew/thought that! ha ha. when we started the program i told the them that in order for the younger 2 to earn their stickers, either they or i would have to read to the younger 2. If they read, it would count on both the charts. If i read it would only count on the younger one's charts. ..... Picture books!!! ah ha ha ha.
