Summer Bucket List 2012

Now that it is officially summer, I would like to share the list of things I am hoping that we get to do this summer. Nothing too earth shattering. Nothing too different than last year. But I still like having it written down and sharing it. I had the kids each write a paragraph naming the top 5 things they wanted to do this summer. Then we brainstormed a list on the white board. This is what we came up with. Underlined are the things we have already done. Stars are the ones the kids had in their paragraphs.
