Summer Challenge Week Two: PLAY IN THE DIRT!

on

It's week two of the Summer Challenge, and hopefully you're having as much fun as we are. If you missed week one, don't worry. You can catch up any time.

This week's challenge is to PLAY IN THE DIRT! Everyone knows that reading is good for kids. Playing in the dirt (or mud or sand) is good for them too. So this week, we hope you will do both, and that you'll share about it on social media. Be sure to use #RDDSummerChallenge in your posts!
