A Tournament of Books
Which book will be the 2019 ELE Picture Book of the Year?
During the month of March the ELE Media Center is facilitating a tournament of books! (Think March Madness/college basketball.) Instead of the sweet 16 basketball teams we have the sweet 16 picture book titles that will face off to determine which title will be "The 2019 ELE Picture Book Champion!" Students in grades K/2/4 have listened to 8 titles while students in grades 1/3/5 have listened to a different set of 8 titles. Students voted for their 4 favorite books. The books with the most votes will move on to "The Elite 8". We will continue to enjoy the books until we are down to two titles that will compete in "The Big Game" the last week of March. Stay tuned for results which will be posted each week! May the best book win!
