I used to LOVE reading the Choose Your Own Adventure series when I was a kid. I always bought a new one at the Scholastic book fair. For an avid reader like me, they were a great bang for my buck. I could read and reread the book over and over and have a different story each time. Deadwood City was my favorite.
Earlier this year, a third grade teacher was talking to her students about them and several kids asked me. I brought one in from the public library to share with them and they were thrilled!
The covers have been updated and there are new "secret endings" online but they still hold the appeal they did 30 years ago.
This week they were out on display for the first time. My display looked like this:
This morning, Monday, this is what it looks like.
I had "refilled" it everyday with books to make it fair for book check out. If I don't do this, all the new books get checked out by the first few classes and that is NOT fair.
I am anxious to see if these continue to head out the door.
Kelly and I have set up a meeting to work on our Common Ground presentation. Things are moving along despite this frigid weather we have been having. I am keeping my eyes open for ANY signs of green.
