Week 10: Older Newbery Winners

Week 10: March 30- April 5
Newbery Winners I Remember Reading in Elementary School

1. 1986 Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia Maclachlan
2. 1984 Dear Mr. Henshaw by Beverly Cleary

Rationale:
This week and next I explore Newbery winners. I remember vividly trying to read every Newbery nominee every year. I also remember earning a special lunch with my librarian for all of the students who were able to complete this task. The library at my school gives incentives for these books as well as other award winning books. In week 8, I chose to read the last 3 years winners for the modern books and for week 10 I chose to reread 3 books I remember loving as an elementary student.
