Spring Book Fair
The theme of this book fair is "Under the Sea." Door or wall decorating ideas have been posted in various teacher workrooms, but if you need additional ideas, just ask! Doors or walls must be done by Feb.20 to earn the free book certificate.
Watch for a special "Book Fair" edition of our S'more newsletter as the time grows closer!
Thank you for all you do to make our book fair great!

New eBooks
We have been trying to add some popular fiction to our eBook collection, so we now have the Big Nate series, Wimpy Kid series, Confectionately Yours series, and Geronimo Stilton among others.
If you'd like your class or a small group to come in for a refresher or an introduction on how to find, check out, and read the eBooks, send me an email!
