Wild West Book Fair

We recently ended our fall book fair. Scholastic's fall theme is Wild West Book Fair: Saddle Up and Read! We transformed the outside of the media center into a town from the old west. 

The inside of the media center had a covered wagon, which displayed books. Also a bandana print banner, bales of hay, boots, and a saddle!

After my volunteers and I set up the book fair, I held a teacher preview. We served chili with all the fixins and lemonade. And for dessert, cow patties (Little Debbie chocolate snacks)! Teachers browsed the new titles and created their wish lists during the preview.

Our students (and staff) enjoyed the photo booth set up in the book fair! This was especially popular during our grandparent events.

During this book fair, school was cancelled for two days due to Hurricane Irma. However, attendance at our grandparent events was still high. We also had many parents visit with their kids during our evening event. The most popular titles at this book fair were Dog Man: A Tale of Two Kitties by Dav Pilkey and Real Friends by Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham.
