I finally am posting. I am enjoying my job as a librarian at an elementary school. All week the kids have been perusing Caldecott contenders. Each student got a chance to vote for what they thought would be a winner. After voting, students got a chance to "read to self" which is what the students in these pictures are doing.
Which one will win? No one knows for sure, but favorites at our school included
Mr Wuffles, written and illustrated by David Wiesner, and
The Matchbox Diary written by Paul Fleischman and illustrated by Bagram
Ibatoulline.
On Monday, the winners of this award and others will be announced by the American Library Association.
