The third graders participated in a video conference with the Indianapolis Zoo on Friday, June 1st. During the video conference the students could talk to and see someone who works at the zoo. They were also able to see animals in a desert habitat at the zoo. They learned how the zoo makes habitats for the animals and how they take care of the animals. It was a great learning experience for the students!

Mock Caldecott Voting

2007-02-26T07:11:00.000-08:00

Roosevelt students learned about the Caldecott Award that is given to the book with the best illustrations. They learned about the criteria a book must meet to win the award. Then they looked at five books being considered for the award. With a group they discussed the book's pictures and made sure each book met the criteria needed to win the award. Each student then voted for the book they thought should win the Roosevelt Caldecott Award. When the votes were counted Hedgie Blasts Off by Jan Brett was the winner. Bats at the Beach by Brian Lies and Flotsam by David Weisner were the Caldecott Honor books.
On January 22nd the real Caldecott winners were announced and they are:
Caldecott Award: Flotsam by David Weisner (Green Meadow Honor Book),
Caldecott Honor: Gone Wild: An Endangered Animal Encyclopedia by David McLimans, and Moses: When Harriet Tubman led her People to Safety by Carole Boston Weatherford and illustrated by Kadir Nelson.
