Student-led conferences; book fair

I'm a few days behind in posting this, but we had student-led conferences last week Thursday evening, and Friday morning and afternoon. It was great to see everyone come out, and it's always a joy to see my students excited to share their learning (and enjoy a snack!) with their parents and grandparents. Thank you again to everyone who came out - your children greatly appreciate your time, interest, and support of their learning!

We also had a book fair running in our library at the same time, with all of the proceeds helping to further stock our wonderful library. As teachers, we are asked by the librarian to make a wish list of books we'd like to have added to our classroom library, and then if parents and students wish, they can donate one of those books to our room. I was absolutely overwhelmed by the generosity of the students and their families this year, as ALL of the books on the Room 18 wish list were donated to our room! As we have many more fiction books in library than non-fiction, I put only non-fiction books on the wish list this time. The students were very excited to see all of the new books for the classroom. Thank you to all who donated books - your generous contribution to our class is appreciated by everyone in Room 18! Check out the awesome additions to our classroom library below...
