Stanley the Summer Reading Sturgeon

Between June 11th and September 1st, our Summer Reading/Story Hour  participants, grade 3 and under, kept track of how many books they read  or were read to them.  For each 5 books read, the child's name was  placed on a "scale" to complete our sturgeon, Stanley.

When the program was complete on September 1st, Stanley's body consisted of 281 scales, which represent a total of 1,405 books read.

We're thrilled with the results of our reading program. We will be using this idea again; we're thinking of incorporating it into quilt squares (and a real quilt) this fall/winter season. Ann Ammerman, Suring
