It's Monday! What are you Reading? is a meme began by Sheila at Book Journeys as a way to share what you read and/or reviewed the previous week and what is in store for the upcoming week. It's also a great chance to see what others are reading. I first learned about it at Teach Mentor Texts.
What an exhausting week! I am totally Book Faired out! It was a great success and now we will be able to purchase many new wonderful books for our school library and for our classroom libraries. The Magic Wand pens shown below were my favorite gadget in the book fair. You can not believe the number of magical spells that were cast around the library this week-even the unforgivable spells.
I have read so many books this past week. Z is for Moose is a preschool favorite.
Pete the Cat ruled my bookfair. I only wish I could have gotten Pete the Cat I Love My White Shoes to share with all the new preschool kiddos and the Teacher Ed students. I worked very hard to get copies of Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses. I ran out to Dollar Tree and picked up a couple of pairs of those giant size blue sunglasses to wear when reading aloud the story. Terrific read aloud. Another hit in the Pete the Cat treasure chest.

I read a chapter or two two of my Al Capone Does My Homework each night. What a fun book. I am really enjoying it. I am reminded of the importance of keeping a good selection of mystery books in my library. Kids love mysteries.
Time's up and time to watch my favorite PBS Sunday night shows. Happy Reading!
Unforgivable spells in the library! Love it! Z is for Moose is a favorite. My 4th graders love it too! Pete the Cat just rocks!
ReplyDeletePete is king of books. I think I am going to make a holster for my magic wand.
DeleteZ IS FOR MOOSE is also a favorite with 6th graders. :)
ReplyDeleteReally? Sixth graders? It had not occurred to me to read it above first grade. Challenge accepted! I will test it out this week.
DeleteThis will be a Pete week. But I don't have Magic Sunglasses!
ReplyDeleteTruth be told ... I miss the music. And I usually dislike kid music intensely.
Pete weeks are the best.
DeleteYou have me excited about my book fair next week! I guess I need to find some big sunglasses! ;)
ReplyDeleteMakes all the difference!
DeleteI didn't think to acquire blue sunglasses. I will be on the lookout. :)
ReplyDeleteThe book is terrific but the Wheels on the Bus was even more fun!
