Family Reading Night...

Last night I took the boys up to Family Reading Night at James's school.  It was actually a lot more fun than I was expecting it to be.  Probably because it was the first time I've ever been in a library without a librarian "shushing" me or my kids.  (Well, that's not entirely true.  There was one crazy-ish librarian who followed Peter around shushing him.  But anyway...)   They even had pizza you could buy to eat there!  Crazy, right?

Taking an AR Test (Advanced Reading Test--
the children have a specific reading goal each quarter and
take individual, computerized tests for comprehension after each book.)

This craft table was more their speed.

Henry loves doing puzzles.

On the way home I realized we didn't actually read any books while we were there.  You know, at the Family Reading Night event.  Well, I suppose it gives us a goal for next time.  I was prepared for lots of shushing, less reading.  Ha.
