Despite getting out of school last Thursday, with the weekend and then the Memorial Day holiday yesterday, today really was the start of Hannah's summer vacation.
Rather than let her watch television all day long for the next nine weeks, because that is what she would chose to do, she has to earn her TV time.
For every "X" amount of time that she reads, does her computer math game or money game, or her workbooks she brought home from school, then that is how much time she earns for watching television.
And while today is the first day of this adventure, she's done very well! So well, that she read an entire Magic Treehouse book!!
This afternoon, after picking up Rachel from preschool, we went into the downtown library and Hannah checked out four books to read. She read one this afternoon, and as I blog, she is on her bed reading, earning television time for tomorrow to add to her time she didn't use today!
The summer reading programs at both our local libraries start up June 14th, we'll go sign up for those programs when they start, but for now, we're keeping track of Hannah's reading...and so is she! LOL.

Sheesh, can you believe they're finished with second grade?!?! Weren't they toddlers a week ago?
Sounds like a great idea! We haven't yet required it for watching a DVD (we rarely watch actual television) because the kids only watch about two hours a week, but we do require it for computer time. It's been a bummer for Ryan lately because our PC died ("his" computer) and he has 90 minutes of time stored up!
