California Young Readers Medal Voting
Each year students have the chance to vote on the California Young Readers Medal nominees. If you are interested in having your students participate, they need to read each of the books in a category, which are as follows:
Elementary Readers - 5 picture books
Middle/Junior High School - 3 chapter books
Picture books for older readers - 3 picture books (non-fiction)
There are other categories, but I have complete sets of these. If you are interested in having your classes participate in voting, let me know. It won't be feasible to have an entire class read each of the chapter books, but the picture books are short enough for read-aloud with some great writing and critical thinking extensions. I would even be happy to set up lessons tailored to your classes. Voting will be via Google form and must take place by March 18th. These books are beautiful and fun.

Netbook News
Just in CASE You Didn't Know - Revisited
Cases will also be super important on rainy days. We have plenty of plastic grocery bags in here if you have some students who are likely to walk around in the rain without heeding all of the "protect your netbook" warnings.
