Students who read 3 or more nominated books may vote in February, and students who read 5 or more qualify to participate in the Rooster Games (more info on that to come). To give everyone a head start, I'll be reading a few of the shorter nominees to each class.
We started with Ada's Violin, since it was on the November discussion list for the RICBA book club at the Cranston Public Library. It's a true story that was actually featured in a documentary; here's the trailer:
Most kids enjoyed the story; here are some reasons they gave:
- It shows that you can do whatever you put your mind to.
- It teaches you what you can do with recycling.
- It shows how someone came from being small to big.
- We have a different life than them ... it was interesting.
- She started out not good but then she got amazing at it.
- I liked it because I play the violin.
- It shows how we can make a life of trash become a life of music!
- It was inspiring.
- It had a lot of creativity.
