Book Fairs!!

A test of my resolve to spend a year not purchasing a physical book came at a school book fair. As a teacher, especially a English Language and Reading Arts teacher, how could I not buy books and support our book fair? So I came up with a brilliant plan. Pick out one book for the classroom and let the kids vote on one. A teacher's choice and a student choice. Great idea, right! This way I don't add to my personal collection at home and keep from adding too much to my classroom (more on this latter). I picked out a book by my favorite author and the kids chose Would You Rather. While their pick may not make great reading history, I am excited to see some interesting writing spring from our new classroom library addition!
