1000 Books Before Kindergarten :: 1700!

We are continuing with Toddler/Pre-School through June {since we got behind when we moved to Virginia}, so we are still reading through several books each week. I pick out books that match our week's lesson, so it's an easy, built-in reading list. It will be fun when we take our summer break and the kids can pick all of their own books, rather than Mommy picking all the ones that coincide with school stuff :)

Here's to a good summer of reading, hopefully reaching our goal of 2,000 books before Kindergarten!
