Reading Lists
"Any book that helps a child form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him." -Maya Angelou
I just discovered this site and it is WONDERFUL! They have book lists broken down into various groups such as: Books about Families, Adventure Books, Award Winning Books, Educational books, etc.
Once you see a book you're interested in, you can click on the title and the site will give you a synopsis, review, target age, and things parents might need to know about the book. This is a GREAT resource.

Game Idea
MULTIPLICATION WAR
Using a standard deck of playing cards:
- Each player starts with half the deck (26 cards)
- Each player will put down ONE card face up into the center
- The player who multiplies the two numbers the fastest, gets both cards (if one player turns up a 4 and the other turns up a 5, the first player to say "20" wins both cards). Face cards should be counted as 10.
- The player who ends with all of the cards WINS!
