We are a group of 25 to 30 students in grade 5 to 7 who meet each Wednesday morning at 9:35 to discuss, blog about and write book reviews for the current Red Cedar books. There are 12 fiction and 12 non-fiction books on the list. If you would like to find out more about the different titles click here.
This year we have teamed up with a class from Aberdeen Elementary. We are excited to share our ideas with them on our blogs and look forward to writing comments on their blog posts. We plan to meet up with them via Skype or video-conference later on in the spring.
In May each student will vote on which book he or she thinks should win the Red Cedar Book Award for this year. The organizers will tally all the votes and announce the winner at the end of May. It is all very exciting as there are some excellent titles again this year.
