The girls are participating in a kids book club this summer for the second summer in a row. A friend of mine does a great job organizing themes and crafts and snacks to go along with the books the kids read. We meet every other Monday and there is a theme of what kind of book the kids should choose to read for the week. The first meeting was Animals....Erika read a book called Barry the Bravest St. Bernard, a non-fiction book about a group of dogs in Switzerland who were trained to help people navigate the Alps. Laurel read the Ittsy Bittsy Spider. At book club, the kids (we had 17 the first meeting!) each share what their book as about and what their favorite parts were. Laurel is one of the younger ones so most all the other kids can read. It is a great way to stay on top of our summer reading!
The craft to go along with the Animals theme was to make animals out of different sized marshmallows.
