This year, our school’s reading fair sort of ran smack into the holiday season, so I haven’t had a chance to sit down and recap it until now.  This was a real learning experience for me because it was the first time I had so much participation from the students.  This was done on a much larger scale than I was used to at my previous school, and other than knowing I wouldn’t be waiting until close to the holidays again to hold it, it did go great. I have to send a HUGE thank you out to my co-workers, our school IB coordinator, and my principal for helping me in so many ways, from providing snacks for the judges to offering advice and being helpful when I knew sometimes this was a bit extra work for the teachers, too.  I work with some incredible people, and I am so grateful for that.  My kids also turned in excellent reading fair projects that amazed me and made me proud of their creativity.

On to the projects….

I snapped a few pictures of the great projects our kids entered.  Some of these were family projects, and some were individual.  Our school is K-2nd grade, so our judges were looking for evidence that the children had some hand in creating these and could articulate their understanding of the story they chose as well.  In the past, when I posted these, I heard from people who snidely remarked about how you could tell the parents did everything.  That may have been true in some cases, so I wanted to emphasize that, although these projects came from the early elementary level, the kids did have to present them well to place.

I do have some handouts about how to do the reading fair that I want to share, and I promise I will get those up real soon.  I’m fine-tuning some of those to serve our students better next time.
