Students who read 3 or more nominated books may vote in February, and students who read 5 or more qualify to participate in the Rooster Games (more info on that to come). To give everyone a head start, I'll be reading a few of the shorter nominees to each class.
We started with Ada's Violin, since it was on the November discussion list for the RICBA book club at the Cranston Public Library. It's a true story that was actually featured in a documentary; here's the trailer:
Most kids enjoyed the story; here are some reasons they gave:
- They used recycled materials into something new.
- It happened in real life.
- They went through trash and made a violin and cello out of it.
- It was very inspiring how they got to play in other countries and they believed in themselves.
- It talks about music and I do music and I love music.
- She plays the violin just like me.
- It tells you that you can use trash and make it into something special.
- It was descriptive and showed imagination.
- It is about a girl who accomplished something special.
- Turning trash into violins is a smart thing to do.
- It tells a true, cool, and inspiring story!
- It is full of pride and shows that anything is possible.
- I like music.
- It was how a poor girl became famous.
- It is about recycling and happiness.
- It proves that if you can put your mid to it, you can do it!
