Book Fair Madness


Many teachers have expressed their disdain of the Book Fair. They say their students get crazed at the opportunity to shop and for some time that's all they can think about. Well, I have to admit that the Book Fair has similar effects on me. I love books, but even more, I love shopping for them. Book fairs are my favorite way of purchasing books because I can shop while never leaving the comforts of my school. Not only that, but being a teacher I get the unsurpassable deal of buying three books and getting the fourth free of charge. After school today, teacher's were able to get an early preview of the books, fill out wish list sheets, enter for a prize drawing, all while enjoying refreshments. Being my crazed self I asked if we could make any purchases and the librarian replied with an enthusiastic yes. I was thrilled and rushed back to my classroom to grab my purse.

After some time of browsing I settled on a Chronicles of Narnia set of 3 books, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader Companion Trivia Book, and 32 Third Graders and One Class Bunny. The last was recommended to me by Katie, fellow 4th grade teacher.

Everyday I hope to post a couple trivia questions in my blog. Answers will follow in the following day, along with new questions. Hope you viewers have fun. This will help me post everyday, so says my friend Katie.
