I just this week started my annual fairy tale unit for PreK-3. These are the ones I use for K and 1st. I use Paul Galdone Billy Goats Gruff, Henny Penny, Gingerbread Boy. I use James Marshall 3 Pigs, and Red Riding Hood. I use Jan Brett Beauty and the Beast. I use Faulkner's Jack and the Beanstalk. I use Kent's Bremen Town Musicians.

I'm hoping you can help me generate a list of titles and authors. Myseventh and eighth grade ELA teachers want to teach a literature unit thathelps students better understand the culture of the Middle East in general.Granted that there are dozens of distinct cultures in the Middle East, butthey feel that they won't be able to find enough works if they concentrateon just one country. I'm looking for a list of titles or authors who write from a Middle Easternperspective. I don't want books written by westerners that are set in theMiddle East. Hopefully we can give the kids a list of works that they canread to fulfill the requirements of the project. Don't worry if the titleyou have in mind isn't appropriate for middle schoolers - we can still useit. We're going to excerpt those aimed at a more mature audience and usethem for ELA-style quizzes. I've got some of the poetry of Naomi Shihab Nye, but can anybody give me ahand with other authors/titles? Thank you! Steven Nabinger, Teacher-LibrarianC. S.

Thecommunity said, look we are paying for this anyway, how much does eachclub make on an average from these events? They then added thoseamounts to the levy and each club gets their money without the hassle.Now, it isn't just a few in the community paying for all those things,everybody has an equal share. Not much in the way of coveringinflation, but the cost of the things would have gone up too, so itprobably all comes out about the same. Pictures at the secondary level are during the studentorientation/registration times before school starts. The elementarykids do have to take time out of their day to get their pictures taken.What with the movement to have all students with picture ID it has to bedone. It is always the option of the parents to buy pictures or not.But, we need the pictures for ID purposes in a variety of places;library being one of, it is important to get the pictures taken duringschool times instead of relying on parents to remember to send a currentpicture of their child to school. Only grades k-7 hold book fairs. They are during conference week; thestudents have very little "library time" to view the items. Then thefair is open during the afternoons and one evening for the students tocome in with their parents, or NOT as the parents choose. Jean R.

I also agree it is a pure waste of instructional time and would preferit be treated as an elective afterschool event. The only reason we are forced to use book fairs or any fundraisingmechanism is because we as parents, teachers and a community refuse tofund schools properly. A wide range of corporations (scholasticincluded) benefit enormously from this fact. I am disgusted with our children being used for corporate gain. I amrequired to hold scholastic fairs but I am continually disgusted withthe junk they sell and the profit they make off of my lower middleincome students.

When I think of the number of years that book fair has been a major source (sometimes only source) for library funds, that is scary. While I run book fair in conjunction with parent teacher conferences, it would still cut into the sales to not be able to sell during the school day. Plus do you pull everything down during the school day or try to teach with all the displays up? Yah, that will work. It seems to me that one person's complaint was not thought through with the effects on the big picture. Perhaps that one person would like to donate the lost funds to the library? Is the problem the monopoly? Get the complainer to organize another way to get books to kids at a reasonable cost. While your district is small, one person's complaint shouldn't scuttle the whole deal, IMHO.--Pam Gelbmann, Media SpecialistWilson Elem.
