What happens at the party?

The Black-Eyed Susan party is lots of fun. You eat pizza, cupcakes, and candy with your friends, while discussing the different books that you read over the year. We listen to music and everyone gets to vote for their favorite nominees online.

2012 – 2013Black-Eyed Susan Tally Sheet

Rate each B.E.S. book that you read by circling: Dislike, OK, Like, or Love. Once you have read three or more books, create a project and submit it to Ms. Phelan along with this tally sheet. You will be invited to attend the Black-Eyed Susan Voting Party in the spring.
