Mock Caldecott ... Winners!


With only days to go until the live ALA announcements on Monday (click here to watch), it was time to finally vote on our school's Mock Caldecott. With both of my seventh grade classes, we held a mock discussion, trying to follow the rules and format of the actual committee (especially no repeating of comments) before we held the vote. We only had time for one round of voting, rather than continuing to narrow and vote until reaching a total consensus. Younger classes simply held a vote.

And the winners are ...



Third Grade Winner: Du Iz Tak?


Honor Books: Are We There Yet?,  A Voyage in the Clouds: The (Mostly) True Story of the First International Flight by Balloon in 1785, and Whoosh! Lonnie Johnson's Super-Soaking Stream of Inventions.


Fifth Grade Winner: They All Saw a Cat

Honor Books: Du Iz Tak?Leave Me Alone!, and The Princess and the Warrior: a tale of two volcanoes


Seventh Grade, A group: Winner, Du Iz Tak?


Honor Books: Ada's Violin: the story of the recycled orchestra of Paraguay and The Sound of Silence
