Dear Parents,
This year we will be introducing the students to the Caldecott Medal winning books through a year-long project. This project will teach them to write a summary of the main ideas of a story. The Caldecott Medal is awarded to the artist of the most distinguished Children’s Picture Book. The picture book is an excellent tool to use in learning how to develop a summary. The list of Caldecott Medal Winners is attached and is also linked to our Third Grade and CKS Library websites. Here are the project requirements:

Read a Caldecott Medal Winner book
Secure a pack of 4 x 6 lined index cards
List the Title (be sure to underline)
List the author and illustrator

4 – 6 sentences stating the MAIN ideas of the story

Draw a scene or character on the back of the index card related to the story
One card due every FRIDAY morning for a reading grade
Students are required to check out a Caldecott Medal book on their assigned library day
Students may use Caldecott books from home and the classroom.

Thank you for your support!
