This week, I am taking a risk!  As teachers always encourage students to take risks, I challenged myself to take a risk with this week’s read-aloud…This story was first a song – a well-known song by one of the most famous groups of all time – The Beatles!  The lyrics of this song (which are also the words in this book) were written by two members of the band:  John Lennon and Paul McCartney.  Our illustrator, Henry Cole works with black and white and adds little pops of colour on each page.

First, I introduce the book here!  After you listen to the introduction, click on the picture below to hear the story-song!

Hi again!

For our second read-a-loud, I have a chosen an older title!  Little Beaver and The Echo is 20 years old!!  Our story focuses on the feeling of loneliness – something that we are all feeling right now as we are away from our classmates, friends and teachers.  Listen and watch to see how the little beaver deals with this feeling…

Hi Parkcrest Readers!

I hope you all are well and that your families are safe and healthy!  I miss seeing you at school and particularly, in the library!

Each week, I will be reading a book for you to watch and read with me!  This week, we will be reading Kevin Henkes’ beautiful book about our new season.  It’s called When Spring Comes.  The illustrator, Laura Dronzek uses acrylic paints to show us the colours and textures of spring – in the blossoms, flowers and the newly born animal babies’ fur.  It’s a lovely story and the pictures are gorgeous!
