Joy!

 We're not surprised if families heard some

 jokes around the house this week, 

during Thanksgiving & our break.

Mrs. Felty had students help create their own personal book of "holiday laughs," during

 our recent "Creative Literacy" classes.

These students were ready to 

see if YOU might join in and guess!

Celebrating Readers

"Camp Out With a Good Book" 

Thank you to Mrs. Whewell for sharing her bulletin
 board with us so we could tell you about ways we
 celebrated "Family Reading Night 2021!"
#Enjoy

At all ages, reading brings "wonder."

We celebrate "Family Reading Night"

each November with other pupils across Illinois.

As always, sharing stories is important
for the listener and the reader as well!

   We like snuggling up with a good book.

Did you hear there was a campfire
in Parkside's Media Center this year?

Flashlights were a "must" for all visitors.  That chance to enjoy a book you choose, uninterrupted?

What's better?

 

Take recommendations from others if you're looking for that next story to enjoy.

BIG "shout-out" to our  cooks who
created a special lunch, perfect for camping:
Hotdogs, baked beans & smores!

#ThankYou

Keep reading!

Books help us create and express ourselves!

Keep learning!

We believe in our pupils and the power of books to help them dream and do so many things!   

Thanks in advance for being a
 reading role model for all our children.  

Turkey Trouble...Right Here!

 

 "Camp Out With a Good Book" 
It's so exciting to read and enjoy a
 wonderful story that sets the imagination soaring.

Mrs. Pentell's class loved
Turkey Trouble.
They designed turkeys who don't 
     want to be on the dinner table this year.   

                  How about this "Santa Turkey?"

            Ever see a "Pizza Delivery Turkey?"

#3 Fifth Graders Who Champion Books

 "Camp Out With a Good Book"

It's an advantage for kids to be given

time at school or home, to enjoy reading.

Challenge met for Parkside's 1st quarter... oh yes!  

He ended up reading the most books in Miss York's class.

Leaders know that every book they choose brings them one
step closer to a richer vocabulary and a stronger mindset.

Setting an ambitious goal is one thing.  But proving to
yourself and peers that reading is an important, shared passion?
