Mad Scientist’s comments from the Task Completion group.

Why thanks a bunch!

Fall!!! Road trips & caramel apples! Pumpkin pie.

But I think a Road Trip task would be wonderful.

Read a book where the setting is in your state.
Read a book where the setting is in your country.
Read a book where the setting is in another country.
Read a book where the setting is somewhere you have never been.
Read a book where the setting is somewhere you have been too!

Just a few thoughts.

The numbers task can be made smaller as well. But I seen you had a task to do with numbers this time already.

What about something to do with water. Last time to get wet in the ocean, river, lake before it gets cold.

Read a book about a water sport or with a water sport item on the cover (boat, jet ski)

Read a book where the setting is on the ocean or mainly near the ocean. (the last song, Twenty boy Summer)

Since it is starting in Sept and most schools start after labor day you can have a task concerning that.

Read books where the main character is in High School.
Read a book where the main character is worried about getting into college.

I guess I'm grabbing a spot too! You girls will be the challenge death of me ;)
