One of the highlights of last week (besides the “mini ice event”) was our school district’s reading fair. I was really impressed with the projects from last year, but I was completely blown away by the amazing ones this year, too!
I had the pleasure of helping judge the group and family projects division this year and it was so much fun. Since I had such a great response from sharing last year’s reading fair projects, I’m going to post some I was really impressed with this year.
Pinkalicious- Pink Around The Rink- This one took first place in the third grade division. It was adorable and totally depicted what the book was about.
Arthur and the Big Snow- This is a story board that also took first place, but I can’t remember which grade level it was.
Keena Ford and the Secret Journal Mix-Up
Drizzle- This project took first place in the 4th and 5th grade division. It was something you really had to see to appreciate. That huge umbrella actually turns around! I loved it so much that I can’t wait to read this book. To me, being able to make someone want to read the book is a sign of a great reading fair project!
David Goes To School- I just love the little “David” books by David Shannon. I believe this was one of the first grade projects.
Pinocchio- This one took first place in one of the lower grade divisions.
I have a few more to share and I will do that later in the week. There were just so many great looking storyboards that I had to take a ton of pictures.
WOW – they all look amazing. The kids did such a good job!
There was definitely a lot of creativity put into them. They all look great.
Could you share how you rated them or the guidelines? This looks like a wonderful idea for my school next year!
If you click here this will take you to the guidelines we use. On page 14 & 15 of this document is a judge’s rubric that could also be sued for grading purposes. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for putting up all the guidelines and rubrics!! I work at an International School in the United Arab Emirates and I think this is going on our event list for next year!!
Awesome! I would love to hear how it goes. Keep me posted1
Those are so awesome. I bet they were fun to make too! Seriously, so cool and creative. You can tell the students put a lot of effort into those!
