Book Fair Week!

The Book Fair is almost here!  Be looking for the "Book Fair-oh" during conferences!  Please turn in your wish lists as soon as you can.  There will be Spanish books at the fair, so if you need to wait until it is open, that is fine too!  We will be setting up at 11:30 on Wednesday, and the fair is set to open at 1:00.  If you have any time I could really use some help!  I could especially use help for the clean-up at 9:00 on Thursday. I know that it's a lot to ask, but many hands make light work and we could be done in no time with lots of help!  Thanks!

In Kindergarten this week, I will be reading Book Fair Day!  Then we will watch part of the book fair video. We will also be playing  BookFlix on the computers.  Have you had a chance to check it out?  It is a really cool program that has a fiction video paired with a non-fiction book.  If you choose to use it, the user name is vdelc and the password is bookflix.  We were able to purchase it with book fair dollars last year.

In PreK this week we will be watching Yuck! Stuck in the Muck.  It is on Storia, a free app, also from Scholastic.  If you would like information about it, a flyer will be available at the Book Fair.

I am in the midst of moving all of the Spanish books to their own section.  They are all separated at the moment, but not quite all on the shelves as yet.   In doing this process, I have found we have quite a few interesting books!  Did you know we have more non-fiction books in Spanish, than fiction books?  I have also purchased many books relevant to the common core. Come down and take a look! 

The laminator is working well now!  If you need to use it, please let Linda O'Brien or I know when you need it. Please give us 15 minutes head start, so it will be ready for you.  If anyone has any ideas on how to save laminating film, please let me know!  Everytime some one uses the laminator, about 12 inches of film is wasted.  Each roll of film is about $28.00 and we use 2 rolls at a time.  If we keep at the same rate we have been, we will run out by Winter break!  

All the classes have been set up in Wiggle Works.  If you go into the program and click on Manager, you can log in using the password: teacher.  If it doesn't work, it could be that someone else is trying to use it at the same time.  For some reason, it will only allow one person at a time to use the Manager feature.  If you don't know how to add names or have any other questions, please let me know!

Have a great week!
