THE BOOKS THAT WERE CHOSEN

By Arin



Blog readers may be interested in the books that are being read in grade four. Fourth, fifth and sixth graders participate in the MCBA, Massachusetts Children’s Book Award, twenty-five books on a list that kids can read and vote on.

If you read at least five of the chosen books, you can participate in the MCBA party at the end of the MCBA year! 

Some favorites of this year are…
Athlete vs. Mathlete
+20 more!


MCBA lists can be gotten from the Spear Library and any of the local libraries. This year the schools have combined the school-board-made list with some books that the schools (Leverett, Shutesbury, etc.) have recommended. Some of the school-added books are:
Bad Kitty Drawn to Trouble
Better Nate Than Ever
The Power of Poppy Pendle

There are also lots of games and contests that are included in the very awesome MCBA years at SES!!! We keep track of how many books each kid has read in the year. I have read 14 and I am getting ready to read Wings of Fire.

Here’s a funny ending: my fourteenth book that I read, Counting by Sevens (a tragically sad tale) is about math. And 7x2=14! Talk about counting by sevens!
And adults, some of these books are books that parents/guardians would enjoy. Here are two especially that I have read: 
Counting by Sevens
The One and Only Ivan
