Book Fair

The Book Fair started today at Mauldin Middle school. I am thrilled to be at Mauldin as the Book Fair runs as it, along with the morning news, are areas that make me nervous. I can teach all day, but there are these little things out there that, until I do them, are hanging out there and make me nervous.






But, I got a few tips to help me through my first Book Fair when it arrives:
  • Have plenty of change
  • Make use of SignUpGenius
  • Have thematic snacks for teachers and fun music for Preview or teacher room
  • Have display easels
  • Do a trivia contest each day w/ movie candy or Book Fair money as prizes
  • Tape all the fun stuff to a display board to avoid sticky fingers
  • Don't forget the Teacher Sign Up and a reminder might be helpful for busy teachers.
I'll be curious to see who organizes the Book Fair at my future library. Is a PTA event, or strictly run by the librarian? 

I secretly LOVE the Book Fair...it is so much fun the the kiddos and seeing all the new books is exciting! I'm sure I'll learn how hard it really is, but for now...I'm holding on to my secret Book Fair crush!
