Barnes and Noble Summer Reading Program (Free Book for Kids!)

Kid’s can earn a FREE book this summer from Barnes and Noble for reading eight books from May 16 to September 5,  2017, with their Summer Reading Program!

Fill out the reading log and when it’s full (8 books read), take it to your local Barnes and Noble and pick a FREE book from the list of selected books.

Summer Reading Program is for Grades 1st-6th.

I always let G record 8 books from the library summer reading program into his Barnes and Noble reading log.  Double duty!

Don’t forget that Homeschool Moms (and Dads) can sign up for the B&N Educator’s Discount Card!

May 18, 2017 – Last Day of School!

We did it!  We made it to our last day of school!  There were so many setbacks during the month of April – I had a car wreck that caused us to lose 2 weeks of school between recovery time and car shopping and G got a nasty stomach virus – that I wasn’t sure we were going to make it to the end of the year.  But we did!  Hooray!

Also, on this day, May 18th, I graduated from high school….16 years ago.  WOW.

And, holy growth spurts, Batman!  Did anyone else’s kiddos GROW LIKE WEEDS this year?

Look at this comparison picture!

We definitely went from little boy to all grown up this year!

Pizza Hut Book-It Program for Homeschoolers Enrolling for 2017/2018

We did the Pizza Hut Book It program two years ago and we started it this past year but then I did a TERRIBLE job of keeping up with it and we didn’t go past the first month.  What a shame!  I am going to do better for the upcoming year!

Book It is enrolling homeschoolers (Kindergarten thru 6th grade) for the 2017/2018 school year.  Sign up here. 

Not familiar with the Book It program?  When you sign up you’ll receive a kit that will help you keep track of your child’s reading goals.  When they have met the goal you can reward them with a certificate for a FREE personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut!  (Drink purchase required)   In your kit you will receive 6 free pizza certificates – one for every month from October to March.  One certificate, per child, per month may be used.
