Fourth grader Georgia Grady as “mishap.” The excitement was palpable at the Bishop School recently as children "became" words. Clap, clap, clapclapclap! Steven Carme, the school's principal, led children in rhythmic clapping to hush excited students assembled in the auditorium. Everyone fell into the beat. Inspired by events in the children's book, Miss Alaineus by Debra Fraser, library teacher Amy Kremer launched the Bishop's first Vocabulary Parade, on May 8, to celebrate events in a book read by second- and fifth-grade library classes and to stimulate word knowledge and fun.
