Nevada Reading Week

Jackson and Megan have been celebrating Nevada Reading Week all week long!

Monday: Crazy Accessory Day


Tuesday: Shirt With Words

Jackson's shirt had over 200 words on it, but didn't even come close to a kid who showed up with over 1,000 words on his shirt. Really, how can anyone compete?

Wednesday: Poem In My Pocket
No picture, but they both picked out one of their favorite Shel Silverstein poems.

Thursday: Dress As Your Favorite Book Character



From the moment Jackson heard (a few weeks ago) that he was going to be able to dress up he came home and told me he was going to be Fox In Socks. I was somewhat surprised by his choice, since we don't read that book a whole lot (it is one of my least favorite), but he was insistent. It worked out for him because he ended up being one of the 4 winners in Kindergarten for best costume! His prize was a Star Wars watch.

Megan chose to dress up as Judy Moody (modeled after this particular book cover).

She also ended up winning best costume in 4th grade! Her prize was a book.

Friday: Pajama Day!!!

Man you guys are always getting into the good stuff at your house. I love how Meghan's backpack hangs down to her knees. Too funny. I love your kids' costumes too.

Madelyn loves Judy Moody! You and your kids are so clever when it comes to dressing up! They both look like they had fun with it! Too bad Hayden didn't have the dress up day during reading week!
