What have I missed? Tell me after you’ve had a look at the Books to Eat entries from round one of Books to Eat. The first week we had over 40 entries by 50 people, mostly 4th and 5th grade students. It was WONDERFUL.
Hooray for Books to Eat. Hooray for Creative Kids.
We had a whopping FIFTY entries this week, for our 2nd and 3rd grade Books To Eat Competition. (Oh, and I use that term loosely, every entrant gets a certificate with some award named such as ‘Purplest Frosting Award’, ‘Spottiest Entry Award’ ‘I just want to gobble you up Award’…) It is great fun making up the awards for the kids.
Thank you to all the teachers, parents and especially the students who make this competition so much fun. Please take a minute (or 7) to view the entries from the first two Mondays of Books to Eat 2015 and I look forward to some delicious treats on Monday April 27th from our PreK, K and 1st grade students.

Hello Party People
Monday-April 14th-Pre K, K and 1st graders it’s YOUR turn to create!
Fill out an entry form in the library this week and join in the fun on Monday! Remember, the entry does NOT have to be cake, it can be anything edible!!! Here is the information for the entry form…
Entrants name:
Your class (or classes):
Name of Book:
(Please provide a copy of the actual book, or if not, a printout of the front page of the book)
OK, OK… so they’re not based on a book…. but aren’t they cute?
*Entering is voluntary.
*There will be three divisions:
Friday March 15th: open to all 4th and 5th grade students, teachers and specialists
In years past, several of our SAS students have had success winning prizes in categories including tastiest, most creative and people’s choice. We will have many, many categories for our students to achieve success in, nobody will go away empty handed. Some examples for your creation include:
Princess and the Pea
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
The Paper Bag Princess
Trucks
James and the Giant Peach
Please consider getting creative with your child, this really is a fun way to celebrate literature, you are only limited by your imagination. Please include a copy of your book with your cake, see pictures below.
Registration forms are available from the ES library and are due by 3 pm the Tuesday before your Friday cake competition. Children will be asked to put
*their name and class
*book title and author’s name
Cakes and their accompanying books must be delivered to the ES Library as soon as your child arrives on Friday morning. They will be judged before morning recess, viewed throughout the day, and available for eating after 2 pm!
Some of the awards given will be for taste, so IF you don’t want your cake to be eaten, please make sure you let me know personally via e mail: kimbra.power@saschina.org as part of the idea is for the students to have a lot of fun with this, and everybody loves eating cake! Therefore, please do NOT use nuts, or nut products in any of your creations.
Below are some photos of last years entries, and here is a link to some great photos of other Books to Eat competitions around the world. Google books to eat and check out what is out there.
