The Chickadee Award
A Maine Children's Choice
Picture Book Project
How We Did It at Lura Libby
School
2006-2007
The Chickadee Award, named
after Maine's state bird, is a program for children in kindergarten through
fourth grade. This year, ten books published in 2005 were read by
our students, who voted on their favorite during the last week of March.
At Lura Libby School, many
of the Chickadee books were read during library classes throughout the
year. During March, some of our third and fourth graders spent their
lunch time making campaign posters for the books. The library was
very busy with up to 40 students discussing books, planning their posters,
and drawing! The last week of March, the posters were displayed in
the hallway, classes did a poster tour, and grades one through four voted
for their favorite book.
The winner, at Lura Libby School,
Cushing Community School, and throughout the state, was The Great
Fuzz Frenzy by Janet Stevens and Susan Stevens Crummel with illustrations
by Janet Stevens.
