Our fifth grade buddies shared some award winning books with the first graders. Our goal is to see award winning literature, and determine which books we feel are worthy of our own special awards. The first graders will write a letter to the author, illustrator, or publisher, to notify them of the award the children are sharing. Hopefully, we might hear back from one of those folks!
Mrs. Foster's class read books that were awarded Caldecott Honors (best illustrations), Newberry Awards (best children's books), Theo Geisel Awards (awarded to an early reader author) and more. Seeing and hearing why these books were award winners will give us a chance to brainstorm reasons why we think more books are deserving of awards. We'll write those letters this week.
