LMC Survey Results
As of January 6, we had 73 parent take the LMC Survey. Thank you to parents for giving their input!
We appreciate student and parent suggestions.
Below in red are some of the parent suggestions we have taking into consideration.
"Please continue to invite the kids to be excited about visiting the LMC and the local library."
In December our 1st graders took a field trip to the public library. This visit helped 1st graders make connections between the school and public libraries and help bolster enthusiasm for books in both library settings.
"The younger children need leveled readers with larger print."
I pulled books from the "Everybody" section and made two different leveled reader sections. One section is called: ABC books "A Better Choice" for 1st graders. There is also a AR book section with books ranging from AR levels 1.0-1.9.
"Perhaps more magazine choices for the kids."
We used grant money to buy more magazines this year including Ranger Rick, Muse, Kids Discover, Ask (Arts and Science for Kids), National Geographic for Kids, Your Big Backyard, Zoobooks, American Girl, Sports Illustrated for Kids, and Spider.
It is not too late to respond to the survey. It will only take 3 minutes!

Calling All Wild Things!
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.
