It's almost time to vote!

The end of March means voting time for the Chickadee Book Award nominees and the Maine Student Book Award nominees. I've created two tools for students to enjoy that will help them remember all the nominated books as they decide on their favorites.

And here is a Glogster (an interactive poster) for the Chickadee Award nominated books. The pencil will take you to a page about the author, the quilled pen will take you to a page about the illustrator. As you move your mouse around on the Glogster page you will notice links for other interesting web resources related to the books.
