We are very excited to kick off the first week of our new OPS Picture Book Awards, an annual event where our OPS reading community will be given the opportunity to recognize some of the best picture books from the previous year. Sure, there are the Caldecott and Newbery Awards, but we thought it would be great for our students, who are avid readers, to get involved in the award season fun themselves!
Better yet, our students will be able to not only select award winners in three categories -- Best Message, Best Illustrations, and Best Overall Picture Book -- but they will also be able enter a contest to design and name all three of the awards! Please visit the Oradell PTA website for more information on how to participate in the award design contest. The winning books will be announced on Friday, March 5th as the culmination of our Read Across America festivities. This year our students will be reading, analyzing, and considering five picture books selected by our award committee, which is made up of myself, our administrators, our supervisor of curriculum, and a member of the PTA. We're pleased to announce that the first book up for consideration is A Polar Bear in the Snow by Mac Barnett with art by Shawn Harris. If you would like to find out more about the book and the process Mac and Shawn used to create it, please watch the following video.
