Kids First

I hope that this note finds you all rested and refreshed after a long holiday break!  This is the time of year when we all think about setting new goals.  I would like to encourage each of  you to think about setting a reading goal for the entire family.  Here are a few ideas:

Family Book Club- Everyone in the family reads the same book and discusses it at the dinner table.

Family Reading Night- Turn off the TV and video games for one night each week.  Everyone reads a book or magazine of their choice.

Family Game Night- Expand your vocabulary by choosing word games for your Family Game Night.  Examples are Boggle, Scrabble, and Last Word.

Bedtime Stories- Set aside at least 15 minutes each night to read before turning out the lights.

Snowdays- Snuggle up with a good book with a mug of hot chocolate.
