Books were revisited.
Directions were explained.
Ballots were distributed.
Votes were cast.
And the results are in....
We do not have time to keep voting until we achieve a 50% vote for one book, so I will stay with these results.
It is Chloe and the Lion for the Caldecott Medal with Honors to Extra Yarn and Nighttime Ninja. I Have a Dream and Green had a very honorable showing.
This weekend I will post more on the process as well as the students comments on each book. They are #priceless.
The best question of the process?
"If the book is meant to appeal to and engage children, are there children on the committee?"
Our mock Caldecott (the Peasleecott) is a second/third grade activity. Each class chooses a gold and silver. Gold Winners were One Cool Friend (two classes), Nighttime Ninja, Z is for Moose (also placed as Silver in another class) and Unspoken. Silvers were Chloe and the Lion (3 classes) and Extra Yarn.
ReplyDeleteBear Has a Story to Tell, I Have a Dream and Green were all finalists, though. Wonder who will win the "Grown-up" version on Monday!
