Several students were able to make it to the 50th Annual San Francisco Public Library's Big Book Sale this past weekend! One student made the family outing an all-day event by going to Olive Garden for dinner. Families were able to pick up plenty of wonderful, old books for a dollar apiece! Mrs. Minor ended up leaving the sale with 294 books, filling up 2 shopping carts! She scored a class set of excellent quality dictionaries (Merriam-Webster, American Heritage, & Oxford) and books of quotations---and books on typing, birds, animals in general, ancient history, trees, ponds, and frogs. All these works will help with our new emphasis on non-fiction informational reading.
