time to read

Over our Spring Break, we made an effort to make reading fun again.  Sometimes, I feel like we get so caught up in completing reading assignments and homework, the sweet joys of reading get lost in the shuffle.  We decided to find great new stories and fun new places to read.  Even our little one participated in her own funny little ways.

We laid blankets out in the yard close to bushes and under the trees 

to create a few special reading havens.   

Our bucket of chalk remained close-by for drawing and writing about our reading. 

It was a great break away from assigned reading and into the wonderful experience of getting lost in another world of a book.
