News from the library--November 17, 2008

This week all Intermediate and Upper students looked at the Iowa Children's Choice Award website www.iasl-ia.org/icca.php and discussed the purpose of the award, the selection criteria for choosing the books on the ICCA list, and the voting regulations. In the spring, students who have read at least 2 books on the list, will have the option to vote for their favorite.

Students worked in partners as they did AUTHOR and TITLE searches using the online catalog. This was good exposure in getting familiar with the books on the ICCA list. Please be on the look out for Iowa Children's Choice Award books that your child checks out. A bookmark will be sent home for each student to keep track of what they have read.
