Children explored three different Chickadee Award nominees this week. The kindergartners, Mrs. Sturtevant’s second graders, and Mrs. McCall’s class solved the animal track mysteries in Who Was Here?: Discovering Wild Animal Tracks by Mia Posada.
Mrs. Bemis and Mrs. Cote’s first graders and Mrs. Allaire’s third graders were fascinated by the amazing elephant seal main character in Elizabeth, Queen of the Seas by Lynne Cox.
A hockey stick and a Portland Pirates T-shirt hinted at the topic of The Highest Number in the World by Roy MacGregor. Mrs. Taylor’s first graders, Miss Mallon and Mrs. Sullivan’s second graders, and Mrs. Cousens’ students enjoyed the story of a young hockey player who learns about the many famous players who wore the same number (9) as she has on her assigned jersey.
