Golden Sower Award
Books by Lisa Soukup, Exeter-Milligan Media Specialist
Each year 10 books are nominated for
the Golden Sower Award for the Primary section.The GSA nominee list is
developed by selection committees of volunteer readers representing classroom
teachers, media specialists, and librarians in Nebraska. Each list is created
from nominated titles sent in by participating libraries and schools from
across the state. Local library or school officials are responsible for
selecting books from these lists they feel are appropriate for the needs and
interests of their patrons or students.
The Kindergarden-2nd grade have been
reading and doing activities with the Golden Sower Nominee books since before
Christmas. The book "Sky Color" was read by Mrs. Kanode in Art
class and then they created an art project using various colors for the sky.
