Time to get ready for the weekend!
Kick up your feet and find a good place to read.
Sharing #booklove for your classroom or library.
Spotlighting a book or two because these books deserve the spotlight!
One of my favorite times of the school year is the Mock season. Our school participates in Mock Geisel, Caldecott and Newbery. I even do a Sibert Smackdown with some groups. I think participating in these are a perfect example of the way close reading is supposed to look like - digging in deeper, reading with a purpose and questions in mind. Of course the best part is the book voting and assembly. Each grade level votes for the book they see having the best criteria for that particular award and then we have an assembly to see our school winners and compare them to what the real committee chooses. It's quite the celebration of books!
Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be sharing our school's choices for Mock books. Today it's our Mock Caldecott books!

There you have it. I think our students are in for some great reading! I'm already looking forward to February.
Love this list! Many are the same as the titles I have chosen as I pull together our list!
