Bluebonnet Voting at Moye

Fifth grader boys voting online.

During the last week of January, third, fourth and fifth grade Moye Mountain Lions voted for their favorite Bluebonnet book.  The Hinky Pink, That Book Woman, 14 Cows for America and The Uglified Ducky were among the twenty nominated titles read by the children at Moye.  This year, the Texas Bluebonnet Award committee created an online voting experience for program participants that had the feel of a national Presidential election.  Most of the children on campus had the opportunity to visit the Mackin Booktalk website through the TBA website and to vote online.  

Fifth grade girls cast their votes!

A total of 252 students voted, selecting The Hinky Pink by Megan McDonald as their favorite Bluebonnet book for 2010-2011.  Coming in second, was The Uglified Ducky by Willie Claflin and third place went to 14 Cows for America.  The students at Moye have an excellent history of picking the winning Bluebonnet title as chosen by students across the state and this year was no exception.  Our second place winner was the first place winner across Texas and our first place choice was the second place winner across the state.  Great work, Mountain Lions!
