Lily's Reading Tea Party

When Ollie was 4 I did a reading program with him. I told him that when he was done he could pick a reward. He picked to have a tea party with some of his friends. When Lily was four I did the same reading program with her. She also picked to have a tea party when we got done. She was hard to teach to read. We needed to do each lesson (total of 100) between 3-4 times before she really seemed to grasp it. It took a really really really long time but she did it! She was super happy when she got to have her tea party. :)
 (The tea party was last June but the pictures somehow got lost in computer land...)

The food spread.  We had fruit salad, a veggie tray, white bread sandwiches (no crust), chocolate donut holes, and mini cupcakes.

Ollie helped with the planning and the set up and food.  He got some cub scout arrowheads for his help.

First, we decorated balloons with stickers.

The lunch was yummy!

After lunch we decorated goody bags.

After we had goody bags we needed treats to put in them so we played some games and the winners got treats.

After the games we did some art projects.  We each made a bookmark by scratching off the black to reveal colors underneath.  Then we got to make a princess scene out of stickers.

Lily had a good time and we are sure proud of her for learning to read!
