There are several summer reading incentive programs happening locally.  The Robbins Library will have a presentation at Stratton soon to share their great summer reading program!   Take a look at a link for book ideas at Robbins Library.  If you hear of additional  ideas, please let me know and I will add them!
Thanks,
Julie Barth

As we start having beautiful days, we are all thinking about summer!  As a mom, I am on the look-out for fun ways to keep my kids staying sharp all summer!  I will  post ideas I find to review and reinforce skills over the summer months.  Mrs. Gigliotti just mentioned a cool game series that she bought for her son. One of the games  is called "Are You Ready for 2nd Grade?"  There are games for students entering k-5th grade.  These can be bought online or possibly directly at the Lakeshore Learning store in Newton.  Call: 617-969-1171 for product availability. I have included a link below.  POST UPDATE-A staff member at Lakeshore said I could share a $10 off coupon.  Use code: 9043
If you have other ideas, let me know and I am happy to pass them along!
