My name is Rory Cabral and this week I interviewed Mrs. Clancy, our librarian, and asked her about our scholastic book fair! The bookfair is a fundraiser for our library so anything you buy at our book fair will donate to our library. She also told me that the most popular books were the new Dog Man, Wicked, and Swimming with the Spies. On the first day of the book fair Swimming with the Spies was all sold out! The books I chose to get were Odder and Something Like Home. I also chose to get a chocolate calculator to give to my sister Maeve for Christmas!
This year's theme was Candyland. which was chosen by a student at Eames Way. Every year a student at Eames Way selects the theme and last year the theme was Winter Wonderland and students helped make paper snowflakes to hang down from the ceiling! Another popular book some of the students wanted was the Taylor Swift book. At the Scholastic Book Fair, there were also notebooks, pens, erasers, bookmarks, and much more! The most sold-out toy was the chocolate calculator, and it smells like chocolate! At the book fair there were many different posters like the stitch poster, sport posters, and so much more. The book fair was December 9th - 13th, and almost every student at EWS bought a book this year! We are very grateful for Scholastic to be kind enough to help us with the fundraiser for our school’s library!
Kids at Eames Way have been really excited this week because the Scholastic Book Fair is finally happening. Kids have been excitedly talking about going to the Book Fair for weeks because it’s always a great experience and students at EWS love books. Almost every student got a book and some books were even sold out! Dogman was the most popular but the ones that sold out the fastest were Swimming with Spies and Wicked.
The theme was “Candy Land” and it was very colorful. Students decorated posters with candy canes and there were colorful rectangles and squares so that the floor looked like the game “Candy Land”. The doorways had pink streamers on them and the book shelves were covered in posters and there were colorful balloons in an arch. The words “Candy Land” were on Mrs. Clancy’s screen and there were a lot of new books for kids to choose.
I chose a new Babysitters Club book and a graphic novel which I am excited to read. I am excited to see what Mrs. Clancy does next year as a theme and I also look forward to reading my new books. Fun Fact: Some students have already finished their brand new books so maybe we should have another Book Fair even sooner!
