Summer Reading Program 2009


My plan was to read Kid Tea by Elizabeth Ficocelli (2007), but when I arrived Veneda was setting them up with garbage sack smocks and they had exactly 30 minutes to be done with the craft and back at the elementary school!

The book has a great sing-song verse, for example "elbows-green-with-grass day, knees-and-toes-to-match day." On the next page young footballer is in the tub with the lines, "Dunk me in the tub, please, for green kid tea!" The idea that goes along with the book, is have the children make tea with the different colored paints as they rinse between hand prints. Both tubs were pink when we finished! :D

Whoa! Looks like the kids had a good time! What a fun time at the library!

All 50 t-shirts were painted; plus, some old SRP shirts were brought out to paint Sharon! I feel good, but crafts are an easy shtick. The hard stuff is hooking them with books. *rubbing hands in an idea generating way* ;D

What a fun activity! We just came back from signing up for our summer reading program. It's one of my favorite programs.I'm going to add Kid Tea to my TBR list.

Is kid tea like a kiddie cocktail?

Maggie, I am going to have some serious catching up to do. I'm only 1/2 way through my first summer book--I haven't read at all in the last two weeks--but I got some vacation time coming up next month!
