It’s Saturday and time to celebrate at Ruth Ayres Writes..
ONE
The used book fair this week. I wrote about it HERE. Update to the Tuesday writing: we sold over a thousand books!
TWO
Saying good-bye to fifth graders. School doesn’t end until June 20 but yesterday was my last class with two classes as I will be gone next Friday.
I wanted to take a moment to let them know how much I love being able to teach them for six years (the ones since kindergarten). It’s such a gift to see them grow as readers.
THREE
Time to honor a retiring teacher librarian. She was reticent about the celebration. But hey, when you have taught over forty years, you should celebrate, right?
FOUR
I finished The Book Thief. What an incredible book. It took me awhile to get into it but wow. The language and emotions in the book. Now on my re-read list.
FIVE
I found out I will be on the library leadership team next year. With the changes coming to our job, it’s a good time to be on the team.
What are you celebrating?
