The students at Elizabeth Ide are in the process of voting for their favorite books on the Monarch Award list. I have been reading as many as I can to them since we came back from Winter Break. Thanks to Miss Hagensee, we have paper ballots to work with. The ballots have pictures of all the 20 book covers from the list. Each student circles his or her one favorite choice. Voting for kindergarten and first grade is going on this week. The second graders will vote next week, giving me a chance to read a few more of the selections to them.
At Prairieview, the emphasis this year has been the Bluestem Award, as it is in intended for 3rd through 5th graders. I introduced the list of nominees to the students in the fall. They need to have read or listened to at least four of the twenty choices to be eligible to vote. Voting will be on the computers, using our library L4U system. Students will be voting for their first choice books during books check-out times in the next two weeks.
The Rebecca Caudill Young Readers Book Award is intended for 4th through 8th grade
rs and is available for the Prairieview students, as well. The books tend to be more for the older students so we do not emphasize this one as much. Student have to have read at least three of the twenty titles to participate. They can vote on our computers and will have the opportunity during book check-out sessions during the next two weeks.
