So many congratulations to @erinentrada.bsky.social for the Newbery win! It was my only Mock Newbery read that I gave FIVE STARS. Loved it. And the references to the University of Delaware, my alma mater.

@breannacarzoo.bsky.social, you were the winner of the Garden City Elementary (RI) Mock Caldecott! The kids loved the message of resilience and the adorable googly eyes.

@deborahhopkinson.bsky.social "Evidence" is on my Mock Sibert long list, and 2nd graders have been LOVING it!

We are talking about strong passwords in 4th grade, and one student created one for Rick Astley: u*b*b*h*n ... (the first letters of the phrase "never gonna give you up" with the letters turned upside down). Was I Rickrolled?

My Ks and 1s chose "100 Mighty Dragons, All Named Broccoli," illustrated by @liantomato.bsky.social and written by David Larochelle, as our 2024 Mock Caldecott winner!
