Last Friday I spent the day with all of the 7th grade Language Arts classes and we discussed the Georgia Children's Book Award program and watched some cool videos about a handful of these books.
Today I get to talk to the 6th grade classes about this program; if you remember this is the program where all middle school students across Georgia are invited to read (up to) 20 selected books and then vote for their favorite.

Remember you do not have to read all 20 titles to vote in the spring, but you have to read at least three (3) books to vote. Some books may not appeal to each and every student, select the books you want to read.
If you want to see some of the videos we watched in class, please click on the book title and that will link you to the specific video.
