A couple years ago, I began the tradition of hosting Classroom Book Awards and students loved it! Click here to read my post about the process. Click here to see the list of winners from last year.
Last week was the end of the school year for us, but I just remembered I didn't post our winners for this year! Just as in the past, my students first decided on award categories and created a list of books they nominated for each category. Once we had our list of nominations, the voting began! We repeated the process of voting and tallying until we had a clear winner for each category. Below are the winners for our awards:

Thanks for sharing! I am planning to do something new with book awards in my classes this coming year. This is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks for suggesting new titles. I like your idea of the class book award.
ReplyDeleteHi there Melanie, great class book awards you have going on here! My 12 year old daughter absolutely adores the James Patterson series. And I personally like the Klise sisters' series. Our household has fallen in love with Raina Telgemeier. I particularly love her Drama. :)
