What a day! We started literacy with our 100th book, The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors by Adam Rex. I think everyone loved this choice as the roars of laughter could be heard a mile away. Then, began the much anticipated Bookie Awards! The 2018 Bookies brought screams of excitement, laughter, applause, and a love of books! The students randomly were given books to represent and gave thank you speeches if his/her book won the nomination. One book took home 4 awards! Below is a list of winners, which also can be found on the door of our classroom, as well as some fun red carpet photos! I have enabled the comment thread. I ask that comments left are only positive. Enjoy a glimpse of our afternoon! The 2018 Bookies

Believe it or not, tomorrow is our 100th day of school! So why is it all the rave? Because we have read 100 picture books!!!! Now that is an accomplishment to be honored! Classroom Book A Day is not just about listening to another book. It is about:
It is award season, after all. This past week, the students came up with categories such as : The Funniest Book,; The Book with the Best Theme of Freedom; The Book With the Best Science/Invention Theme; The Book with the Most Inspirational Character; The Book That Made You Feel Good; etc. When determining these categories, the students also told me what books they thought should be nominated in these categories. Then, a google form was created and the students voted! Tomorrow on our 100th Day after reading our 100th Picture Book, the red carpet will be rolled out and The Bookies will take place! I love the suspense and I cannot wait to announce the awards!!! The Awards Above Are Ready!
