Cozy Nook Competition
A classroom library is the heartbeat of a teacher's environment. South Elementary is having a Cozy Nook competition where all classroom libraries will be judged on their environment, organization, and variety. 3 winners from each grade level will receive a prize (gift card to purchase items for your library from approved vendors).
3 things to think about as you are preparing for the Cozy Nook Competition:
Environment - Is your library somewhere students want to hang out?
Organization - Can students find books they want to read? How are books organized?
Variety of books - Are books available at different reading levels and genres?
We are looking forward to seeing all the terrific libraries on campus. Don't forget judging will take place the first week in February 2018.
