Gosh, I can't believe it's been over a month since I put anything up on this blog. Everything is finally beginning to settle down after the new reading adoption distribution and what a way to kick of the year with a bang--the bookfair! Monday and Tuesday went really well. Scholastic sent us a ton of great stuff--all sorts of books for all readers, from the emergent reader to the parent at home. And don't forget Christmas is just around the corner. I took care of several gifts in one swoop. There's a nice section of religious-type books, cookbooks, discount books ($1-$5) and lots of books in Spanish as well.
I was so glad to see the kids so enthused about the fair. They were peeking in the windows and trying to get in early Monday morning as Ms. Castillo and I were still frantically trying to get everything in order! But that's super! That's how we know we're doing a great job and that what we are doing for these kids goes beyond the classroom. Even the first graders were pumped up when they were filling out their wishlists.
Please encourage your students and parents to continue visiting the bookfair for the rest of the week. It will be open all day Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and remember, the proceeds go to purchase more books for our kids to devour! Unfortunately, I will not be there for the rest of the week, I'm at Shidler on Wednesday and the Encylo-Media Conference on Thursday and Friday.
Congratulations to Ms. Borgfeld and Ms. Ambruso for winning $10 in bookfair merchandise on Monday and Tuesday! Don't forget to spend $$$ at the bookfair to get your name in the drawing for the rest of the week!
A big THANK YOU goes out to MS. CASTILLO and MR. BREWER for making this possible!
