SMUM Book Club

This blog is the start of a new book club at SMUM Studio 17 (Santa Maria Urban Ministry). Each of the older children in the after school homework program has the opportunity to check out a book from Studio 17's book shelf, read it, then give me an oral report. Prizes are offered! Credit will be given for each book read before Christmas break. Prizes to be paid in a Target gift card.

Some of the SMUM Studio 17 girls and I were playing with the Make Your Own Kaleidoscope software toy. Here are the pictures they made with images of themselves:
