I had the best time presenting today at the 2018 Texas Library Association annual conference. Two of my favorite librarians, Emily Kupersztoch and Stephanie Inzana, and I, were thrilled to share The Armadillo Readers Choice Award with a packed room of hundreds of librarians! We hit capacity and were so excited! Check out our presentation.
Mrs. Young & I presented two of next year's books on the Armadillo Readers' Choice Award list at our librarians' meeting yesterday. We are both on the Armadillo Readers' Choice Award committee and read over 80 books to decide on 10 final nominees. Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade students are read the 10 books throughout the year when the content of the book aligns with their curriculum. We think next year's list is full of fun books with lots of great learning activities and opportunities!
The Armadillo Readers' Choice Award Selection Committee met today at Deep Wood Elementary to read 85 recently published picture books. Mrs. Young and I both serve on this committee for next year. It was so fun to make time to read - something we actually don't ever get time to do in our busy library. We narrowed these books by our purpose (TEKS-based lessons for K-2 students) and eventually whittled the list down to 10 amazing books. We can't wait to share them with you and our students soon.
Thanks to the committee for a wonderful day of reading and lesson planning. I can't wait to see what we come up with next!
