As part of our Picture Book Month celebration (and beyond). Students at all grade levels will be exploring and examining picture books that seem to be contenders for the 2014 Caldecott Award. Students in kindergarten and first grade will be reading and discussing these books. Students in grades 2-4 will be taking part in a Mock Caldecott unit in which they will examine these books using the same criteria as the Caldecott committee. Classes will then decide which book they feel should win the Caldecott award. Our teachers will also be making their selections. We will then compare our choices with those of the actual Caldecott committee when the winner is announced in January 2014.
