Students have been voting for the Monarch and Bluestem awards this past week. The nominees are books that are chosen by Illinois students and educators and the winner is chosen by Illinois students! The Monarch Award is for grades K-3 and the Bluestem is for grades 3-5. Fourth and fifth graders may also read the Rebecca Caudhill nominees and vote on their favorite at the public library.
Students have also been going on field trips to the Douglass Branch of the Champaign Public Library, which is conveniently located right next to our school! We have been taking a tour and hearing about library activities and have a storytelling session. The tours and stories have been led by Ms. Amanda the Douglass Branch children's librarian.
