Panther Paw Activities

Panther Paw 2012

It’s the ninth annual Panther Paw Book Contest! This year’s book list may be the best ever! See the Animoto slideshow here for a look at the 2012 titles. The Panther Paw contest is for all Parish students in kindergarten through second grade. Parents are welcome (and encouraged) to take part, too. The goal is to explore some of the best of the recently published children’s books from different genres. As in years past...any student, parent or teacher who reads or listens to at least ten books can vote for his/her favorite. Anyone who reads or listens to all twenty books will be eligible to enter a drawing for a chance to win a complete set of the Panther Paw books for his/her classroom. Parents may check out one Panther Paw book at a time for overnight or a weekend. It’s fun to see students and parents huddled up and reading together in the library, too! Be sure to take a look at the activities that your family might enjoy at home. We'll vote in March, and the winning book will be celebrated. Until then...happy reading!

Voting Time!

The library has been so alive with readers for the past two months as parents and students have devoured the books on the Panther Paw shelf. It's finally time to cast your votes for your favorite. All students, parents and teachers who have read at least ten of the books on the list are eligible to vote. Circle your choice on the ballot. Students will get ballots in the classroom. Parents can pick up ballots in the library. Votes will be counted on Friday.

Be sure to check out the awesome campaign posters and paragraphs created by the second grade Grizzlies.

Wallwisher and Panther Paw

This is Wallwisher. (Thanks, Tara!) Let's experiment with this application and see if we can build a wall of comments about the Panther Paw books. I can't wait to read about the books that you love the most!

Before school or after school...the library is humming with moms, dads, and children reading through the Panther Paw list. Join the fun!

Panther Paw Kick Off

The Panther Paw Book Contest is a fun, fun, fun reading program for Parish students in kindergarten through second grade. The goal is to encourage everyone to read and explore a variety of recently published books and to choose favorites. Many teachers will read ten or more Panther Paw books in the classroom, but parents will also want to join in the excitement and read some or all of these books together with their children at home.

There are 20 fantastic titles on the 2010 Panther Paw Booklist. Any child, parent or teacher who reads or listens to at least ten books can vote for his/her favorite. Anyone who reads or listens to all twenty books will be eligible to enter a drawing for a chance to win a complete set of the Panther Paw books for his/her classroom. Parents may check out one Panther Paw book at a time for overnight or a weekend. We'll vote in March, and we'll find out which book will be the winner. Until then...happy reading!
