Week of May 7-11


This week we will be having the Book Fair.  I hope to see everyone there.  As the students come in for class they will be given the opportunity to look around and see what books they might like to buy from the fair.  We will also read 1 or 2 books from the fair to get students excited about the fair.

We are also collecting loose change for One for Books.  All money raised will be split up between all of the teachers and they will get to come in and shop for free at the fair.  So far we have collected about 150.00.  Our goal was 500.00.  We are a long distance away from our goal….

Remember students will need tax money for any items they buy.  We have to charge tax on our fairs.
