SC Book Awards...today I shared my voting booth with the students at HSES. They were so excited to cast their votes. We briefly reviewed each title and allowed students to come up one by one to fill in a ballot and drop it in the ballot box. I left the booth for other classes to vote throughout the week. The school winner will be announced once all votes are cast.
This activity brought up thoughts about next year's nominees and how to get more students to read them, especially in grades 3-5. This year I did book talks in the library as students came in with their class. This was only those whose teacher signed up for the visit. Next year I plan to visit all 3-5 classrooms to briefly share titles. I may even share a quick video highlighting the titles. I also want to plan some type of event/party/celebration for those who read at least five titles to come vote.
