The Book Fair is here! The Book Fair is here! The Book Fair is here! It's my favorite time of year...seeing some new books, some classics, some gross books, some hilarious books...I love it all! This is one of my kiddos who was pretty pumped to see this Pokemon book. I must admit, my heart sank a bit when that was the book he was most excited about. What about the newest I Survived book or that awesome looking shark book behind him? But...on the other hand, I love that he makes his own choices. So many times, parents will complain that their kids will ONLY read graphic novels or ONLY read the video game books. Do you hear what I hear? They're READING! They're reading on their own time about things that are important to them! Since the revival of Pokemon in the last few months, it's all I hear about. It's like a language I've never heard and will never understand. That's okay...it's their language, not mine. I'm not one of those teachers that prohibits their students from reading "fun books." What is a fun book anyways? In my honest opinion, that Pokemon book does not look fun to me whatsoever! So, I'm proud of this kid, and for all of my students, for knowing who they are as a reader and being enthusiastic for reading books for themselves!
