To gear up for the Summer Reading Program, we are doing an online activity. Remember the mnemonic to remember the planets in order? My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas Now that Pluto has been demoted to a dwarf planet, we need to invent a new mnemonic that excludes Pluto. Put your suggestions on our Wall Wisher located here: http://wallwisher.com/wall/mnemonic

(suggestions will be monitored before they show up on the wall)

Reading Club
(will run from June 4th - July 27th)
* Register by picking up a Reading Log at your library

* Read library books - write down the books you read in the Reading Log

* Receive reading awards - bring the reading log back to the library to receive an award each time you reach one of the reading goals.

For every 5 books you read from June 4 thru July 27, come into the library, decorate a sheep, and hang it on the wall in the library. (Child must have registered for the Reading Club) At the end of the summer, we'll see how many sheep we have! (and a total number of books read)
