New Books

Last week the book fair was a success-thank you McKinstry staff and parents for all the support.  We did get many books out into the classroom and the library from the book fair, which is great!!

We also recieved three boxes from Titlewave and I have one box unpacked and ready to be checked out!

Here is a partial list:

Turtle's Penguin Day by Valeri Gorbachev
Goldilocks and the three bears by Lauren Child
Wiggens learns his manners at the Four Seasons Restaurant by Leslie McGuirk
A story for bear by Dennis Haseley
Planet Earth; Amazing animals of the Rainforest

Scholastic Book Fair is here!!

The Book fair is beautiful and filled with wonderful books-do take time to come check it out.  Think about new books for your classroom and think about Christmas just around the corner for children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews!! 


Several teachers have asked me if I have any exciting incentives available for the book fair...It makes me happy to know some are joyously thinking of buying books at the fair!   The book fair helps our school purchase more books for the library and that is always a bonus. 

So here is this year's incentive:  If you buy $25.00 worth of books from the book fair you will get your choice of another paperback for $1.99.
