"Chick-a-dee-dee-dee" sings our chickadee stuffed bird, welcoming students to the reading area to listen to a book from the collection of 10 titles being considered for the Chickadee Award, a Maine State Children's Choice Picture Book Project. Our students are joining children in grades K-4 throughout the state of Maine, by voting for their favorite book in March. The goal is "for students to develop an appreciation of outstanding writing and illustration in current children's picture books through participation."
