Book Week

This past week has been Book Week at my school. We usually do this in November in conjunction with National Children's Book Week. I was out on medical leave at the time and no one thought in time to celebrate. Having Book Week now was a great way to jump right back in following the winter break. This year I stepped things up a bit. We had our usual check out an extra book and bookmark contest. In addition my third grade reader's theater group presented with a short play titled "Do it with Dewey" which was a big hit. The other new addition though has not thus far panned out. I'm hoping it will yet. I started a blog called We blog books! for my students to share and discuss their favorite books. So far my entry is the only one. Sadness. Even so, I declare that the week was a success. It is always exciting to see kids get excited about checking out an extra book!
