READ ALOUD

We have been reading the Harry Potter series aloud as a family this summer.  We are on book 5 now.  Things are slowing down as we don't have quite as much time to dedicate to reading in the evenings with all the school and extracurricular activities picking up again, but we are excited to finish book 5 and have a fun movie party when we finish.
