Book fair time!

Another book fair has come and gone.  As usual, the kids were thrilled, the fair did well, and I am exhausted! This year we had a different schedule and a special visitor. 

Parent conferences this year were on Monday and Tuesday, so I ran the book fair Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of one week, then Monday and Tuesday of the following, moving the fair down the lobby for parent conferences again.  It was a mental challenge to keep the schedule straight in my head and, based on the number of questions I got, in the heads of everyone else as well.  But we did it! 

We also had a visit from Clifford the Big Red Dog on the day before the fair. He joined a guest reader (Mrs. Giroux or Mr. D) and read stories to prek, kindergarten, and 1st grade.  Clifford was also kind enough to visiting the older kids upstairs for lots of hugs and smiles.

Now it's time to spend those Scholastic dollars!
