That's the Hello, Goodbye Window. It looks like a regular window, but it's not.

blurb

This book reminds a lot of my childhood and spending it with my grandparents. I was lucky enough like this little girl to have my grandparents live so close that my sister and I could visit them and spend the night occasionally. This book brought back many memories for me and like her I hope to grow old and spend time with my future children and their children.

The child talks about all the different activities that she gets to do at Nanna and Poppy's house. The child talks about how talented and knowledgeable her Nanna and Poppy are and how much she learns from them when she visits.

I would 100% use this book in my classroom. I love how she is happy when getting dropped off and picked up by her parents. When I was teaching preschool I named one of our windows that so the students could say their last goodbye to their parents through the window.

The picture book is about a little girl who get dropped off at her grandparents house everyday when her parents go to work. She names their kite hen window the hello and goodbye window because it represents her family coming and going.

She is always sad to leave but knows that she can always say hello and goodbye through the window each time she passes.

“You can be happy and sad at the same time, ya know.“ I think that this quote really shows the reader how feeling are fluid.

blurb
Abbylippert

“The Hello, Goodbye Window“ emphasizes the importance of strong, loving relationships with family members, particularly grandparents. The magic window is a way for a young girl to bond and make memories with her grandparents. The illustrations of the book look as if a child created them, almost as if the young girl narrating the story created them herself. This book may spark discussion in the classroom of special memories of family they may have.

blurb
sarahosterle

I really like this book and it would be great to talk about with younger kids to emphasize how much family is important. This would be good to use in the beginning of the year and to do an activity about getting to know your students.

Caldecott Winner
In this book, the Narrator describes the joys of staying with her Nanna and Poppa, the fun they have together, and the importance of family in a child‘s life. The book emphasizes the beauty of small moments, like saying hello and goodbye through a kitchen window.
This book is a good way to start a student discussion about important family members in their lives.
“When we leave we always stop at the window to blow kisses goodbye”.

I love the vivid colors and childlike illustrations in this picture book. This would be a fun book to use when talking about stories and things that happen in your life, such as visiting grandparents, or to talk about imagination. Children cold draw their own Hello, Goodbye Window and whatever they wanted on the other side.

Published in 2005. This book is told in the perspective of a little girl who is visiting her grandparents. She talks about the different activities that they do together on her visits. She keeps returning to the window, which she calls the Hello, Goodbye Window. The colors and illustrations used are very bright and inviting. The pictures help to express the voice and perspective of the child telling the story.

This heartfelt Caldecott award winning RF read is a book focusing on themes of family, relations, connections, imagination, and childhood.

AlexRobinson A strategy that could work well with this book is PR, as students could not only take turns following along and reading the text, but could also work on duo text to world and text to self connections as they discuss their family and windows they might get to explore out of while comparing and contrasting this experiences as well as illustrate their own window and reflection through art. 4y
AlexRobinson Here are resources on how how to compare and contrast ideas in books with our students as well as the art activity (https://www.the-best-childrens-books.org/The-Hello-Goodbye-Window.html and https://www.readbrightly.com/books-to-teach-compare-and-contrast/). 4y
AlexRobinson UDL guidelines to follow these activities and text are 8.3, 1.3, 3.1 and 3.3 (foster collaboration and community, offer alternatives for visual information, activate or supply background knowledge, and guide information processing and visualization) while EL strategies 4y

AlexRobinson consist of 2, 3, 4, 7, and 30 (promote cooperation, encourage self talk, link lesson topic to students‘ comprehension, and encourage the use of diagrams and drawings as aid to inferior concepts and seeing relationships). A super cute and wholesome read! #ucflae3414sp21 4y
tclivio you really know how to make all your pictures creative! I used to love this book when I was younger! Your UDL guidelines and your EL strategies are perfect! 4y
AlexRobinson @tclivio awww thank you I appreciate that!! And that‘s so interesting because I have never heard of it! But it is a great book! 4y
DrSpalding Alex, you have done such a nice job replying to your peers! This is a great book to partner read or read aloud and the compare and contrast idea would help you meet English language arts standards in the primary grades. Fostering collaboration clearly works well with this teaching strategy of partner reading. Once again, very well done. 3y

Inspired by Kevin Bacon‘s #istayhomefor idea, I created a note of why I stay home, and it‘s simple!

I stay home for
1. My fiancé
2. My family
3. Healthcare workers and
4. The whole world!!

Now all of you should be staying home too and I want to know why! Simply post a picture or quote or your reason(s) then use the hashtag #istayhomefor

Stay home, stay strong, stay healthy!

This is a great story with a biracial couple and their granddaughter. The cool thing is that it doesn‘t center race as the story, but rather feelings. I did buy this one. Anyone have book recs for a biracial 6 year old??

Nutmegnc @Tamra have you seen this one? And how old are your kids now?? 5y
Tamra @Nutmegnc I haven‘t! My kids are older now, 12 & 9, so I‘m scouting for chapter books. 😄 I do recommend this series for younger kids! (edited) 5y

Review: The hello, Goodbye Window by Norton Juster, 2005, is a Caldecott Winner about a young girl visiting her grandparents and their magic window. It has beautiful abstract illustrations.
Blurb: I would use this book in my classroom for a read aloud, and follow up with apart project. Letting children create the characters in the story as their own family.

This is a good traditional literature book for children. This book can be pretty relatable to kids. The theme of the story is about the loving relationship a young girl has with her grandparents and that is expressed through the illustrations too.

I would use this in a future classroom because the images would engage the children with how interesting the illustrations are & the children would really engage with the story itself.

This book was a great traditional literature book. One way it meets criteria is that the story represents cultural norms and is not re-written to white Anglo-European conventions. Also, the illustrations really add to the story because of the way the artist draws the item and characters very loosely. This meaning that the bodies do not have clear outlines but you can tell what the images are.

This book is a Caldecott Award Winner (published 2005). I enjoyed this book because for me it brought back a sense of nostalgia, but for children this can just bring happiness whether the student think about their times with family, friends, or guardians.
I think the illustrations are very unique, and intricate. I had never seen illustrations like this before, but I hope to see more.

The Hello, Goodbye Window is a wonderful RF PB, a Caldecott medal winner, written by Norton Juster and illustrated by Chris Raschka. This would be a perfect RA book for your K-3. This book is told from a little girl's point of view who is being babysat by her grandparents. She shares all of her wonderful experiences while at her grandparents house. This book provides a great lesson for children that all families are different and that everyone

Camrynm may not look the same, but that differences are to be celebrated! The EL strategy I would use would be 30: Encourage the use of diagrams and drawings as aids to identify concepts and seeing relationships. Children could imagine her experiences at her grandparents house and what her family members look like and draw pictures. 5y
Camrynm The UDL principle I would use would be 3.3: Guide information processing and visualization through looking at the wonderful illustrations in the the book and by having the children draw their own pictures. This lesson plan is perfect for your K-3 grades: http://teacher.scholastic.com/lessonplans/bookfairs/currconnection/hello_goodbye...
