The Washington Catties (The "Academy Awards" of Books)

In recognition of School Library Media Center Month, the Washington Elementary School Library is hosting the Cattie Awards. A Cattie is an award given to a book in a particular category, similar to an Oscar given to a movie. Cattie awards are chosen by students as part of their library time. All categories and nominees are posted on the Cattie Awards bulletin board in the library.

Each class has been assigned a category of books. Each category has 5 nominees (all Caldecott Award winning books) which will be read to classes, one at a time, during weekly library visits. After all 5 nominees have been read, students will vote for the best book in that category. Winners will be announced in an envelope opening "and the winner is. . ." ceremony during library time.
