Last Thursday started the third week of the new book club at
SMUM Studio 17 (Santa Maria Urban Ministry).
Tonight is our final meeting before the program’s winter break.
How it works:
Every week, each of the older children in the after school homework program
has the opportunity to check out a book from Studio 17’s book shelf, read it,
then give me an oral report. Prizes are offered! Credit will be given for each
book read before Thanksgiving. (Studio 17 does not meet between Thanksgiving
and New Year’s.) Prizes to be paid today in a Target gift card.
Status:
Week two was slower. Many of the kids forgot to bring the books they
finished back to trade in. But several more kids did trade in completed
books. Also, we have two new club members (Edgar and Alejandro).

The Studio 17 kids liked the pictures I posted
from the
Make Your Own Kaleidoscope software toy. Even more kids requested that I
take their photos so that they can play with their own images next
time. Here are two more Kaleidoscopes:
