Calling all Wild Things!
On October 29, Spring Brook Elementary hosted a Family Literacy Event focused on Maurice Sendak’s book, Where the Wild Things Are. 148 people joined the wild rumpus to celebrate reading. Celeste Giles, Naperville Public Librarian, Linda McCoy, Spring Brook Reading Specialist, and Natalie Hoyle, Spring Brook LMC Director emphasized the importance of reading aloud to children for at least 20 minutes a day. “Children need to find books that are just the right fit,” said McCoy pulling out various shoes from her bag “just like shoes fit the activity, books too should have a purpose.” “My goal is to pass on love of reading to Spring Brook students, by being a passionate reader, booktalking, and motivating students to read” said Hoyle. After kids made their own wild thing puppets, Stuart Vance, Spring Brook Kindergarten teacher and Miss Hoyle wowed the young audience with a dramatic reading of Where the Wild Things Are.
