Children's Book Week
November 11th-15th
Favorite Book Contest
To continue to foster a culture of reading at Parkview School this year we will be celebrating Children's Book Week. Each day, Monday through Thursday we will feature a different picture book for the students to listen to at some point during the day. You can make it part of your morning meeting, reading centers, or something they listen to during snack/quiet time. We have single copies of each book in the library, or you can use the link below to have your class view the read aloud on the Smart Television. On Thursday we will have a simple ballot in your mailboxes for students to select their favorite book. Then on Friday we will live stream a reading of the story with a special guest reader.
Monday: Be Quiet by Ryan T. Higgins
All Rupert the mouse wants is to star in a beautiful, wordless picture book. One that's visually stimulating! With scenic pictures! And style! He has plenty of ideas about what makes a great book, but his friends just WON'T. STOP. TALKING.
Be Quiet! by Ryan T. Higgins - Read Aloud
Tuesday: Gaston By Kelly DiPucchio
This is the story of four puppies: Fi-Fi, Foo-Foo, Ooh-La-La, and Gaston. Gaston works the hardest at his lessons on how to be a proper pooch. He sips - never slobbers! He yips - never yaps! And he walks with grace - never races! Gaston fits right in with his poodle sisters.But a chance encounter with a bulldog family in the park-Rocky, Ricky, Bruno, and Antoinette-reveals there's been a mix-up, and so Gaston and Antoinette switch places. The new families look right...but they don't feel right. Can these puppies follow their noses-and their hearts-to find where they belong?

Thursday: What if by Samantha Berger
This girl is determined to express herself! If she can't draw her dreams, she'll sculpt or build, carve or collage. If she can't do that, she'll turn her world into a canvas. And if everything around her is taken away, she'll sing, dance, and dream...
