December Daily 2010 - Day 7

Journaling:

Treasure Box Magic...The story goes that this treasure box was given to me by a pirate I saved when his ship sank at Treasure Island in Las Vegas as a sign of his gratitude. And the magic part? You get points for every book you read - the points are determined by difficulty - and when you have 50 points, a cool key magically appears. When you open the box you find a note with a riddle you have to solve in order to find your prize. While you are solving the clues, the key magically disappears. The boys have been so motivated to read or be read to, and have vibrated with anticipation ever since the box appeared about a year ago. My favorite part is that Luke is now a proficient reader and Jonah is starting to read on his own. Love that!
