Brenden's permanent sand castle. We used a sand, cornstarch, alum, and water mixture heated until thickened on the stove to make this. It had almost a play doh consistency and dried hard. Bren won second place.
Tayler won 1st place for most mysterious, and Joshua 1st place for most colorful.
Joshua also won overall in his division being awarded a $10 Walmart gift card. Here is what he bought with his money.
Brenden and Joshua with their reading certificates.
Brenden won a prize from the reading drawing.
We joined the summer reading program this year at our local library. The kids and I really enjoyed it. There were two programs each week at the library, ranging from science with water to the Museum of Natural Science. We were able to make it to all but three. Joshua has come so far and sat through each one for over and hour being a trooper. Along with the programs the kids had to read a certain number of books each week Brenden and Tayler 4 each and Joshua to be read to 1 hour a week. They were awarded a coupons each week for things such as cookies, ice cream and kids meals from local food restaurants. At the end there was an art contest. The only rule was that the project had to contain sand. Above you can see how well they did. :) For every number of books they read their names were also put in a drawing for prizes.
