At the start of the school year we were introduced to the school's reading/sight word program for Aubrey. It involved 11 units with each unit having approximately 25 sight words in it to memorize. We told Aubrey that when she completed all 11 units we would take her to Disneyland. We had no idea who type of motivation this would instill in her! This is a program intended to last all year, so we figured we'd be heading to Disneyland this summer. Well as her trimester break approached she became more and more motivated, actually asking if we could practice more so that she could pass off her unit. She was determined to get to Disneyland during break. And sure enough she passed off her final unit with a week to spare! Way to go Aubrey! We had a great family trip to Disneyland, we actually went two days in a row which the girls thought was AWESOME! Aubrey was thrilled because she got to meet Princess Aurora (forget that we had to stand in line for 2-1/2 hours....). All in all it was a great trip; perfect weather, no long lines and lots of characters.
