Red Clover Voting

We are conducting our Red Clover Book Program Voting this week. The
students and I have read 10 picture books together this year as part of
this program. All Vermont students K-4 have the opportunity to be a part
of this state literacy program.

This week we reviewed all 10 books and the students decided which
one was their top choice. Earning their vote by making a connection with
them, having a great story, or marvelous illustrations. After all the votes
are tallied, we will write again with our school winning title. All of our
voting results are sent to the state to be included in the statewide voting.
We should have a Red Clover Award winning title by early May.

Our Easter Surprise author visit

Mr. Churchman and Laddie came back to UMS for a visit to share Mr. and Mrs. Churchman's new book, the Easter Surprise, with all of us.

 

He also had a surprise for us! A new lamb named Moonbeam got to see UMS students and staff.

 

If you missed our sale of the Easter Surprise, don't worry the Phoenix Bookstore in Essex has copies! We heard the new story, searched for hidden bunny pictures, had a few questions answered by Mr. Churchman, and got to pet Laddie and Moonbeam. Thank you for the visit, Mr. Churchman and family!
