Award Final Nominees List

Today I was working in my classroom, and was able to hear the video that Mrs. Scott shared with 5th and 6th grades about the Final Nominees Lists for 2011-2012. I LOVE finding out what the new nominees are and reading them throughout the Summer. I will admit, I don't typically read all of them, just the ones that sound good to me! As I heard the video going, SEVERAL of them sounded good to me. While I realize each student received a list of the books, I wanted to take a moment tonight and re-post them tonight. After all, some of you may have left the list at school, or lost the list, OR might want to refer back to this list later and you can just pull it up on the internet! And the nominees are:

Mark Twain Nominees (Grades 4-6)
Potato Chip Puzzles by Eric Berlin
