Kentucky Bluegrass Awards...What is it?
From the KBA website:
The Kentucky Bluegrass Award (KBA) is a student choice program. The purpose of the KBA is to encourage the students of Kentucky in grades K through 12 to read a variety of quality literature suitable for their age and reading abilities. All Kentucky public and private schools, as well as public libraries, are welcome to participate in the program.
Pride will participate again this year and I was very excited when the box containing the KBA books arrived earlier this week! There are some great titles to choose from this year. I will read the K-2 selections to all grade levels and encourage our 3-5 graders to check out and read the 3-5 level books. If you would like to check out any of these books to read to your classroom, please let me know!
Book Trailers
In The Matchbox Diary by Paul Fleischman, a great grandfather shares the story of how he and his family immigrated from Italy and used tiny matchboxes to document his life story. This is a wonderful narrative in dialog.
The publisher has created a resource page with ideas for using this book, along with Common Core connections. It can be found following the link below.
