Winter 2022-2023

We had such an amazing first trimester! Students have been checking out books, taking active roles in their learning, and engaging in so many fun activities! 
We just had our first author visit of the year. Alex London was a blast! He taught us so much about writing and was so funny! We have another in-person author visit this year and some virtual experiences as well.
After the holidays, we have World Read Aloud to look forward to. We have over 20 authors scheduled for grades K-5! Following World Read Aloud Day (February 1), we will gear up for our Winter Reading Challenge. Stay tuned while we figure out what we will challenge Dr. Rivera to do this year!
As always, please let me know if you have any questions or comments. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!

We had such an incredible year back in our library! I am already planning and getting excited for next year. This summer, make sure you keep reading! Join the public library summer reading club and log those books! We will celebrate all your summer reading when we see each other again in the fall. Please continue to use Sora if you need access to e-books. Have a great summer!

Wow! Fall flew past us and winter has starting coming on strong! We have been very busy this year. Thanks to our generous PTA, we have had 2 very successful author visits by Doreen Cronin and Dan Gutman. The children were so inspired to read and write.

We are warming things up and getting reading for our two big winter events. World Read Aloud Day is on February 2, 2022. We have 22 authors scheduled to read to our students in one school day! More information will be sent out.

Beginning February 7, our Winter Reading Challenge will be off to a brisk start. We will run the challenge for 3 weeks this year and challenge our students to read 1,000 books a week!!! Click above to view updates to the Reading Challenge and to keep an eye on the Leaderboard once we begin.

At Jackson, we fought the cold this year by setting a school-wide goal to read 5,000 books in 5 weeks! We are almost there and look forward to celebrating our accomplishments!

We are planning to "March" into spring with new goals and incentives to keep us reading. 

Check out the new showcase button on the library homepage to see some of the amazing work our students have been doing.

Please remember that there is still a book pickup available for remote students. Be sure to utilize Sora for eBooks. Please email me if you have any questions!

Please keep checking the Sora app. Books are being added regularly.

We have been busy here! Students are researching, learning digital citizenship, and learning about library organization.

We have a lot of fun planned for December. Stay tuned!
