Newbery Book Reports


Students from 212 are currently working on book reports. All students chose a Newbery Medal book, or a Newbery Honor book last week. After students read their chosen books they will complete a book report. The final book reports will be in the shape of the Newbery Medal. All students have received the requirements for the report. Reports are due on October 11th. Please ask your child to see their chosen book. Encourage them to create a timeline for completing the report. This will help your child to pace themselves to complete the assignment. Also, feel free to take turns reading the book aloud. What a great way to spend time togther.
The Newbery Medal was named for eighteenth-century British bookseller John Newbery. It is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children.
