From November 12-December 3, our 2010 Scholastic Book Fair was held in the media center. We use all profits from the book fair to purchase books and materials for the library. The first rotation we have the students preview the dvd which highlights some of the books which will be sold at the book fair. Students will also make their wishlist while they actually preview the books (At Highcroft we do not preview fluff. Fluff is the stuff such as posters, bookmarks, pencils, erasers, etc.) After making their list students are encouraged to take the list home for parents to preview and discuss with their child. Parents are invited and encouraged to attend the book fair with their child during their scheduled visit. This is called their purchase day...students are allowed to purchase fluff only after their book purchase and parent's permission. This year I scheduled their visits during their media classes which worked out so much better since I was there to help with suggestions, reading levels, encouragement of good fit books, and of course peer pressure...
