[aisle] Book madness

[Pam Meiser]

Two years ago , each K-5 22 classroom nominated a book and created a 1-2
minute video promoting their. The winning book's video starred a new
student in fifth grade that struggled and was very shy. He
absolutely shined in the video representing his class' pick. Suddenly
everyone knew him and told him how much they loved the video. He was
walking on air! My principal bought 8 copies of the book for our library.
Thinking back, I should have put a QR code linked to his video in each copy
of the book. My school's instructional coach did a lot of the organizing
and a volunteer made our bracket display which was hung in our lunchroom.

Last year, we had Book Wars in May. Each grade level had its own ship from
Star Wars and we moved them ahead if they won their vote.
