Red Cedar Book Awards 2013: podcasts

Each year at Blair, the intermediate students have the opportunity to read the best of the best children's literature in British Columbia through the Red Cedar book award program. Thanks to generous financial support from the Blair PAC, this program is a long-standing tradition at Blair. Each year the students are exposed to both excellent information books and fiction titles. You can learn more about the Red Cedar program by clicking on this link HERE.

The students have been sharing about this books during their library sessions. The intermediate classes have been using the AudioBoo app on the iPads to create podcasts about books they are reading. 

Here are some podcasts you can listen to from some of our intermediate students from divisions 1:

Off to Class: Incredible and Unusual Schools Around the World by two grade 7 students. The students make excellent personal connections and read an excerpt about how schools in Haiti were affected by the earthquake:
