It's Caudill Time!

Next Monday is the introduction to the Rebecca Caudill Young Readers Book Award 2010 for all 6th graders. The 6th graders as a class will particiapte in this Illinois state book award for grades 5-8. There are 20 books nominated each year. Each 6th grader will read a minimum of 3 nominees before the end of February to be eligible to vote. All Lakeview votes will be sent to the state committee and the state winner will be announced in March, 2010. This year's nominees are fantastic. Mrs. Wilson and I have read all 20 nominees and we are having a hard time picking a favorite. But we don't get to vote! Only the students do. To see the list of nominees, click on the link on the Lakeview library webpage. There is even a link to an online book talk about the nominees. And I hope to link my mimio presentation as well. If you ever need a good read recommendation, any Caudill nominee since the beginning in 1988 would be a great choice.
