Readers who read most of the books from the master list were invited to participate in the Oklahoma Children’s Sequoyah Book Reading Celebration!
The theme was pink.
We shared pictures of our pets, were served Dump Punch and dog-shaped cookies, wrote 10 things about ourselves, made friend-ship bracelets, played games, and sang songs all…BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE, this years recipient of the award, written by Kate DiCamillo.
STUDENTS PLAYING THE “DIRECTION GAME” …BECAUSE… ANYTIME YOU MOVE, YOU MUST HAVE DIRECTIONS!
Readers playing the “laughing game”….because… Winn Dixie was such an unusually friendly dog who smiled at people!
Tasting Littmus Lozenges…because… “everyone needs a little sweetness in their lives.”
Making “worry-free chimes”…because… everyone makes mistakes and we want to let it go and go on with our lives.
