It's Book Fair Week at Sherwood.  Here are some of the links your might need:

Volunteer LINK:  There are still some open slots during the week.  We'd love help!

Online Book Fair LINK.  Can't make it to the book fair?  Grandparents out of town looking for gift ideas?  You can order through this link and Sherwood will get credit for the sales.  The items come to us after the online fair closes (a few days after the regular fair).  If you are buying something as a gift, please send Mr. Sonnen an email with your phone number, so he will know not to give it to your child and to call you for pick up.

Book Fair Letter Home

Here's what was going on during classes:

Kindergarten:  Heard "More Bears!" by Kenn Nesbitt.  We made a chart of the similarities and differences between a library and a bookstore.  Students also have several minutes to browse the book fair.

1st. Grade:  We talked about being a savvy shopper.  Figuring out what you need vs. what you want.  Knowing how much money you have.  Being kind to cashiers.  Students also have several minutes to browse the book fair and create a wish list if they wanted to.

2nd ,3rd & 4th Grade:  We talked about sales tax.  We discussed how the government uses their tax money (schools, parks, roads, police, fire, libraries, etc).  Then we learned how to estimate tax using 10%. Students also have several minutes to browse the book fair and create a wish list if they wanted to.

5th & 6th Grade:  We talked about all of the people involved in making/producing and selling a book.  We also talked about how shoplifting affects prices.  Students also have several minutes to browse the book fair and create a wish list if they wanted to.

Professional:  This week I pulled Thanksgiving books for Mrs. Bonnell, continued to work on the building laptop 2 to 1 redistrbution, helped run the book fair.
