It's the most wonderful time of the year!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!!  What time is that? BOOK FAIR TIME!!!

I'm sure many of you share my love of the Scholastic Book Fair.  The school PTAs are so generous with their time and their donations.  New books are so terrific, and I especially love it when you, my students, tell me what books excite you, so I can choose them from the book fair for the library!  I know one student at Marshall Hill has repeatedly asked me for the 3rd "Big Nate" book. He'll be happy to know that I saw it today as the PTA was unpacking the book fair!

That's right, Marshall Hill's book fair is the week of Feb. 28-March 4.
Westbrook's book fair is at the end of April. I am so lucky to be able to attend both!

Family Literacy Nights are coming up too.  I'll be at Marshall Hill's on Tuesday March 1. We'll be "buddy reading" in the library, and raffling off Eric Carle books and matching stuffed toys as well.

I understand I'll be seeing some Marshall Hill graduates - 7th graders from the RED cluster at Macopin, who will be volunteering their time to help with the buddy reading. I look forward to meeting you!  I've been told that you discovered this blog in your 3rd period Financial Literacy class! Feel free to write/comment and tell me what middle schoolers are reading these days!
