Free Homeschool ID Card

I made some ID cards for my kids by using Paint Shop Pro and a cheap digital camera from Wal-Mart. I saved the blanks into an online photo album. So, you can just print this one out and handwrite everything in, or save it to your computer and use your program to put everything in.

Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge

Summer can be a season full of fun memories, good times and also... declining reading scores! This summer, don’t go down the “Summer Slide,” stay on top by reading! Sign up today to take the Scholastic Summer Challenge to read books, log your minutes and READ FOR THE WORLD RECORD!

The Scholastic Summer Challenge is a free, Web-based program that helps kids find great books and provides a fun, multimedia platform for them to discover new authors, talk about books with other kids, and keep motivated to read all summer long.

This year's Summer Challenge unites students and schools to read in an attempt to set a new world record for summer reading. Kids sign up for their school, choose books they want to read, then log their reading minutes at the Summer Challenge headquarters. Schools that log the most minutes will be published in the 2011 edition of the Scholastic Book of World Records! Students will also be a part of a 50,000 book donation to Reading Is Fundamental.
