Fifth and Sixth graders join with Fourth graders to read over 40 books in our Mock Newbery Club. Since early October, they have been reading and meeting to discuss potential Newbery winners. In November, they hope to narrow the list. Middle Schoolers and Lower Schoolers have been meeting independently. But in early January, the club members will hold a joint meeting to make their final selection.
Some titles being considered:
The Amaranth Enchantment by Julie Berry
The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly
Peace, Locomotion by Jacqueline Woodson
The Season of Gifts by Richard Peck
