There has been a lot going on these past two weeks with the Book Fair going on, but not a lot to blog about. We continued Book Fair browsing for students to make their wish lists for part of Week 7. My Media Specialist was out due to being exposed to covid, so I ran it mostly alone. It was very busy. Once browsing ended, the selling started. This is where it really got busier!
Students were very excited to buy from the Book Fair. We had a ton of books that were $5 and under and many of our students took advantage of the deals. One fourth grade students bought 22 books from the value table!
Tuesday was a digital learning day for all students. I brought my 16 year-old daughter with me that day and we moved the entire Book Fair to the gym.
Parents and digital learning students were able to come and shop in the gym with plenty of social distancing. We were open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. We didn't have as many parents come to shop as we'd hoped for.
Wednesday and Thursday were extremely busy. I barely had time to inhale my lunch. I sold about $1,600 both days.
Friday was steady. I was able to call and order books we sold out of and I worked a little bit on editing the records of the Title 3 books.
Next week, there are two more days of Book Fair and then we get back to our regular operations again. I love Book Fair time, but it is exhausting!
