Fun Reading related costumes at Sprague

We had some fun in the library today with our costumes for Halloween.

Can you guess who we dressed up as this year?

Give it a try... I'll put the answers at the end.

Ms. J. and Ms Gradwohl.  Hmmm... give us a hint.

The Literacy Team - Ms. Lamenza, Ms. Marsette and Ms. MacLeod.

Who are you guys?

What did Ms. Macauda dress up as?

Happy Halloween everyone!

-Ms. J.


(Answer key: Ms. J. is Belle from the new Beauty and the Beast Disney movie, Ms. Gradwohl is Hermione Granger from Harry Potter, The Literacy Team dressed up as "Super Readers" and Ms. Macouda is an I Spy book!)

This is a BIG deal: Fountas and Pinnell Say Librarians Should Guide Readers by Interest, Not Level

And now we have some heavy-hitters in the literacy and reading education world saying, "Hey, let librarians recommend books that students are interested in!"

Yah!
This makes me so very happy.
And yes, this is a very BIG deal.
