Georgia Children's Book Awards

We finished voting for the Georgia Children's Book Awards today and I placed our votes online.  Students in kindergarten through 4th grade voted on their favorite picture book nominee and 5th graders (who had read at least 2 books on the list) could vote for their favorite chapter book nominee.

Here are pictures of our nifty voting booth and what it looked like on the inside - 20 cups, nicely decorated by Mrs. King - one for each book.  Children were given a penny to drop into the cup for their favorite book. 



The overwhelming favorite picture book at Brookwood is "I Need my Monster."    The favorite chapter book at Brookwood is "Extra Credit."  It will be interesting to see how our students votes compared with the rest of the state once the results are announced.

April is National Poetry Month and Thursday, April 26th is National Poem in Your Pocket Day. Students and staff members are all being encouraged to carry a poem and especially, to share their poem with someone. We have lots of poems that we will distribute, so students do not need to worry about finding a poem to share. Students can even win a prize if one of our mystery listeners asks them to share their poem! We hope to hear lots of poetry in our halls and classrooms!

3rd Grade Glogster Projects

Third graders have been researching Georgia animals and their habitats. They used both print and online resources to learn about their animal, then created "glogs" which are online posters, to share their information. The slides show students presenting their finished glogs to their classmates. Check back as more pictures will be added until all presentations have been completed.
