The Goodwill Lunching Group gave each and every child at my adopted school 2 books today as a Valentine. It was WONDERFUL! If you could have seen and heard these sweet children. MINE??? DO I GET TO TAKE IT HOME!!!! Was just a small example of their comments.
I was on my feet from 8 AM until 2----but even though my back hurt---it was SO WORTH IT!
The children got to PICK OUT their books---an added treat. It was interesting to see what they like and I discovered some writers that are currently the "Hot Thing". The BIG HITS of the day were the 3 D car books for the boys and ANY Junie B. Jones book for the girls.

Junie B. is a big hit at our school and the sad part is that a lot of the girls checking out Junie are very good readers and need to be reading much more advanced books. Sometimes June goes into hiding to encourage reading a larger more age appropriate selection and she reappears if she is needed.
