Casting Our Votes for the Reader Awards

Students vote for the Show Me Nominee
of their choice using stickers
We've all seen the campaign commercials and heard the sound bites on the news.  It's election season and no one can avoid it.  Luckily, election season here at the Old Bonhomme library isn't quite as intense as it is at the national level!

First graders voting
This week, students all across Missouri will participate in voting for their favorite Show Me Reader and Mark Twain Nominee.  First through third graders are voting for their favorite picture book while fourth graders who have read at least four of the nominated chapter books are eligible to cast their vote.  I'll be making posters of the six fourth graders who read all 12 Mark Twain Nominees.  The posters will hang in the fourth grade hallway and the kids will get to take them home at the end of the school year.  It's an exciting way to celebrate this huge accomplishment!  

Mark Twain Nominees
During dinner one night this week, ask your student what book he/she voted for and why.  Election results will be announced Monday, April 29th and I'll be sure to post the winners!
