Summer Reading Program at the Public Library
The Naperville Public Library will introduce the summer reading program’s activities and prizes to Spring Brook students on May 24th. Help rev up your children for summer reading by signing them up for the program and attending book related events. Your influence on your child’s reading habits is vast! Help spark your child’s reading interest by modeling independent reading and reading aloud with your child. Your child is never too old for read alouds!
Spring Brook Chalks about Books
Miss Hoyle LMC Director and Miss Kolman, 5th grade teacher teamed up with the financial support of the PTA to create Spring Brook “Chalks” about Books. 4th and 5th graders are currently reading a book. Miss Hoyle will meet with all 4th and 5th grade classes to teach students the details of chalking, walking and talking about their book in a persuasive way to interest other students in their book. On May 18th students will go outside and become “sidewalk illustrators” creating an original chalk book cover drawing for their book. After designing and coloring their cement book covers, students will venture out to see others’ artwork writing down enticing titles. Each student will leave with a handwritten bookmark list of books to read over the summer. “This is an exciting hands-on way to show our love for books and enthusiasm to read over the summer” says Miss Hoyle, LMC Director. Thank you to the Spring Brook PTA for helping make this event possible!
