Every kid is a reader. The problem doesn’t lie with those who “don’t like” to read. The problem is in how we introduce, discuss, and “teach” reading to them, and what books we share and make available to them. The work is in figuring out how to reach each wonderfully unique kid.
I’m not sure who took this photo (if you know, let me know and I will give credit!) but I’ve seen it posted a number of times, with comments celebrating the power of fiction. And yes — stories might just be the most powerful thing in the world. However, this should also...
Huge shout-out for Principal Appreciation Day to Aimee Monticchio of Langston Hughes Middle School! Distance learning under stay-home orders, major renovation, "regular" stuff...you make it look easy and are a supportive and inspiring leader. ❤️ @LHughesMS_FCPS @FCPSRegion1
We are inspired by the care, creativity, and expertise of FCPS librarians. Looking for help with resources, tech, book recs? Want to make or discover something? Need information or have questions? School librarians have got you covered. #FCPSLibraries#schoollibrarymonth
I know everyone across @fcpsnews is working hard - I do.
BUT.
I feel like there should be a *special* shout out to our amazing #FCPSsbts that are patiently leading us into a whole new world of technology and digital learning.
Teachers, librarians, & families - Many kids will be missing school in the coming weeks due to COVID-19, so I'm putting together a library of resources for learning at home - read-alouds, writing mini-lessons, drawing demos, etc. Watch & follow for more info & a link later today.
Excited to feature student book recommendations in our library! "I enjoyed this book b/c I read it with friends and I read it so fast b/c I couldn't put it down." @LHughesMS #langston @jslawrence9 #wearereaders
Hughes students kicking off the Great Reading Games with Reading Specialist extraordinaire, Mrs. Lawrence. Read, Panthers, read! @LHughesMS_FCPS #grg20#learningally
Gift-giving 2020 at the Hughes library... what's more special than a brand new, wrapped library book? Loving our students' smiles. @LHughesMS_FCPS @FCPS_LIS
Grateful for great stories! Enjoying Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix with live score by National Symphony Orchestra. @LHughesMS @kencen @NSOtweets #HarryPotter
This series is magic. A student today swore she hated books and wouldn't read anything, then read this in 20 mins and checked out 2, 3, & 4. Thank you @LeaTaddonio for writing it, and thank you @KeyMSLibrary for recommending it! We need more like this! @LHughesMS @ABDOpublishing
