Our read-a-thon is over, and we did it CKES! We tried to read every day between January 22-31 with the goal of reading 100,000 minutes.
We read 103, 524 minutes!

The end of January is book award time! The American Library Association announces the award winners from 2024 for many different awards. At CKES, grades 1 – 4 take part in voting for the book we think should win the Caldecott award. What is the Caldecott Award? This award is given to the illustrator of the most distinguished American published picture book. When we look at possible winners, we ask ourselves 4 questions: 1.Were the pictures drawn well? 2.Did the pictures fit the story? 3.Do the pictures help tell us things about the story that the words don’t? 4.Was the book made for kids? The vote is in, and CKES has chosen our winner!  Home in a Lunchbox by Cherry Mo is a book told mostly in pictures about a little girl named Jun who as just moved from Hong Kong to a small town in the United States. She has a hard time, as she doesn’t speak English, but having her favourite food for lunch reminds her of home. Home in a Lunchbox has won the Caldecott Honour award! Great job CKES for critically thinking and picking the winner!
