This year our K-5 students participated in Mock Awards. Grades K, 1, 3, and 5 evaluated picture books for the Caldecott Award. Grades 2 and 4 evaluated picture books for the Pura Belpré Author and Illustrator Awards.
To do this, we learned about the awards and how books qualify. We learned about some of the books that had earned the awards in the past.

We also read many excellent picture books before voting on our favorites. Sometimes students loved the books so much, they would draw pictures of them like this one of The Bear Ate Your Sandwich.
Here are the results of our voting.
