Ms. Frizzle loves the Doss Book Fair!

It was another fabulous day at the Doss Book Fair! We had 17 classes come to shop as well as many morning and afternoon shoppers. We are expecting another 16 classes tomorrow and will end the fair with 9 classes on Thursday. Wednesday's hours are 7:30-4:30 and Thursday's are 7:30-6:00. Our inventory still looks great and BookPeople sent over 2 more boxes of books including copies of The Adventures of Arnie the Doughnut: Bowling Alley Bandit and The Day the Crayons Quit. We are happy to take orders for any books that we may have run out of (i.e. Treasure Hunters), but still have many wonderful titles that you are going to want to take home. Seatbelts eveyone- see you at the book fair! ~Ms. Frizzle (aka Mrs. Lang)




Out of this World Night!

Wow! What an amazing opening to our sci-fi-tastic book fair! I had a great time visiting with all of the Doss owls and their wonderful families! BookPeople brought us an incredible selection of books and I think that there was something for everyone! I don't know what to read first, but it's a terrific problem to have! I hope that you are all tucked in bed with a good book! If you missed tonight, you still have time to shop... The book fair is open all day tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday. We'll be there after school until 4:30 for the next two days and until 6:00 on Thursday night. If we don't have a book that you want, we are happy to order it for you. We should have the special orders sometime after Thanksgiving break.

I appreciate those of you that brought books for our school library! I can't wait to get these news books barcoded and ready to circulate! I feel so fortunate to be a part of such a generous and kind community. I'm looking forward to seeing all 850 of you this week! It will be a busy and fun week!

Here's a joke... What do planets like to read?  (comet books)

Book Fair & Topher's Picks

Hi Gang- I am super excited about the book fair kick-off tomorrow after school from 3:00-7:00! I hope to see all of you there!!!! The books are almost out and teachers will be making their wish lists during the day. I think that this year's selection of books if the best we've ever had. There is definitely something for everyone! Take advantage of this great event and fundraiser and get ready to blast off to reading! You may not recognize your librarian this week, but here's a hint... "Take chances, make mistakes, get messy!" Do you know who I'll be dressed as for an out of the world Doss book fair? ~Mrs. Lang
