Myron J. Francis 5th graders took part in the 2013 Rooster Games this month at Gordon School. The games have been a tradition since 2001. To particpate, students need to read at least seven out of the twenty books that have been nominated for the Rhode Island Children's Book Award. During the games, students work collaboratively on teams to solve challenges based on the books. Suzanne Fox, the Gordon School librarian, spearheads the games by hosting and organizing the event as well as making sure that the Rooster Game mascot shows up to cheer on the students. See the video below for this year's dramatic rooster entrance. Students from both schools read many excellent books, worked collaboratively to solve problems and met new friends.
