Today we opened the Book Fair at one of my schools. The theme is selected by Scholastic and they provide all of the clip art and give some decorating ideas. The theme this Fall is Sir Readalots Castle. If it was up to me and my limited time, there would probably be a sign and that's about it. But luckily, I have a library paraprofessional with an art degree and two volunteers who are creative so together they transformed our library into a castle. It is so incredible that one student exclaimed that "we overdid ourselves this year!" One of our teachers lent me her medieval dress to wear so when the classes came in for previews today they were greeted by Dutchess Ostwald and Lady D. It was very fun but I had to wear the dress all day because it was too hard to get on. Now I know why women had ladies maids- just to get into the dresses! I must have looked fantastic...or something...because a sixth grade boy asked me if I got paid extra to wear that dress....hmmm...compliment? Anyway be the fool or the Dutchess we had fun and we get to do it again tomorrow!
