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.
