A 2nd Grade Caldecott Party!

Second grade students from Greater Plains, Valley View, and Riverside gathered for a Caldecott party.  In preparation for today, students learned about what it means for a book to win a Caldecott Award and they read many award winners!  All second grade students then discussed recently nominated Caldecott contenders.  After reviewing several runner-ups, students in each building selected one book to be a "Mock Cadecott Award" winner.  

Today, the students met at Riverside Elementary to celebrate the "Mock Caldecott Award" winners.  Students rotated through five read aloud stations, where guest speakers took them on a literary journey.

Thank you Mrs. Iannello, Mrs. Stalder, and Mr. Parmerter for creating such a wonderful experience for our students!
