The rotation of Washington Children’s Choice picture book nominees has started! The 20 nominee books selected by the Washington Library Association were purchased through a donation from the Lake Forest Park PTA. Classroom teachers will read aloud and pass on each book until each classroom has read all nominees. Five of the nominees will be read during library time, where students will work on a corresponding activity for each book.
In March, students will view a short video to review the books and then vote for their favorite title. Our votes will be added to the thousands of votes being collected throughout the state and students will choose the winner. Last year’s winner was “The Bakery Dragon.”
Thank you, Lake Forest Park PTA, for promoting student literacy by providing all of these wonderful books for our students to read for years to come. And thank you, Mr. Kleyn, for continuing to bring the magic of reading to our students!
