The librarian at our school challenges all students to read 100 books by the 100th day of school. If a student reads 100 books then they are invited to a huge celebration in the library. This year her theme was medival times. If you read 100 then you were knighted. 200 books = lord/lady. 300 books = prince/princess. 400 books = king/queen.
Today was the celebration and Jillian was recognized as a queen.
While Bryan and I took her picture, guess who climbed up on the counter to steal Valentine's candy???
This was the photo booth at school!
She won at medival bingo!
She won this game too! Not sure what it was called??
She did not slay the dragon. She almost missed the entire board. Ha!
She picked the right cup that had a hidden dragon!
Lots of fun with friends!
During our mission to read 400 books, Jillian was on a mission to read every princess, Fancy Nancy, and Pinkalicious book in the library. I am pretty sure we succeeeded in reading EVERY princess book there ever was. Ha but we found a lot of books that cracked us up and I thought I would share.
This book is HILARIOUS!! Rapunzel is hard of hearding and instead of throwing our her hair she throws a lot of other things.
This book isn't funny but the pictures are so beautiful. Actually this book was a little awkward b/c the prince visits Rapunzel and the witch finds out he is visiting b/c Rapunzel's dress doesn't fit anymore. Uh-hem. You know, she is knocked up. I kind of rushed over that page and skipped ahead. BUT the pictures ARE beautifully done! Ha!!!
We discovered Mo Williems. Everything he writes is HILARIOUS!! Very sarcastic humor!! Our favorite are his pigeon books.
We discovered Pete the Cat and he is a very cool cat. Get the audio version for a very cool Pete the Cat song that will NOT get out of your head.
Jillian LOVES Miss Spider which honestly is kind of weird. Her books are for older kids with lots of poetry/prose but Miss Spider's wedding book is pretty cute!!
Finally, this book my kids love because you have to say underpants like 100 times. Ha!
So that's it! 6 books out of 400. That is kind of pathetic. I should have made a list while we were doing it to remember all of the really good books. Thank you to Bryan, my mom and my dad who all did their fair share of reading the 100 books to Jillian. Can you imagine the day that Jillian is in 4th, Rocco in 2nd, and Hadleigh is in kinder and we are reading 1200 books??
You're right. I can't imagine it either.
