Card Carrying Member Of The PLi

Max did his first book report yesterday and he wrote the whole thing himself. His report was on the book "Shark in the Park". Max had to write down the name of the author, then had to write down who his favorite character was (the shark, of course), and then write what his favorite part of the book was (when the duck said "Quack".) Max told Mom what he wanted to write, then she wrote it on a separate piece of paper, and he used that as a guide for how to write the words. In the past Max hasn't shown a lot of enthusiasm for writing, but he did the report in one sitting. It was most impressive!

Max was also quite excited because he got this book out on his very own library card. He had seen in school that some of the other kids had their own library cards and so he wanted to get one too. Mom took him to the library yesterday and they signed him up. Not only did he get a nice "My First Library Card" card, but he also got a matching backpack, though he insists it is not a "backpack", but rather a "book bag". It includes some pockets where he can keep his card. What a great program!
