At Whitten's End

[written by Michaela] Mom first got the idea of us doing the Super Summer Challenge from the book titled Super Summer Challenge by Linda H. Wicks. The SSC is a program where you get points for doing tasks. Some are fun, some not so much! There are between 27-32 potential tasks per child.  I thought it was a great idea considering that the majority of my summer usually consists of me staring at the T.V. screen.  So Mom typed up three individual lists of activities she wanted us to do/ learn to do; printed them ; put them up on a wall ; and we started the Super Summer Challenge. Each time we did a certain activity, we got a certain amount of points for doing so. Mom bought some marbles and used individual jars to hold the marbles that we earned. If we get to the designated amount of marbles at the end of the week, we either get three prizes at the dollar store or a larger prize. If every week we get to our goal, at the end of the summer, we'll go to Chuck E. Cheese...
