This year, we hosted several well-known authors at Jones, thanks to our connections with Spellbound Bookshop and Malaprop's Bookstore. Trenton Lee Stewart, Mo O'Hara, and Ralph Hardy captivated our students and got them excited about books!
Read Across America Day was the perfect chance to celebrate Dr. Seuss with read alouds and crafts.
On World Read Aloud Day, classes Skyped with authors Robin Yardi, Dianne White, Constance Lombardo, and Shannon Hitchcock.
Artists from the Go Figure! group presented their creations inspired by children's books to our kindergarten students.
Fourth grade classes engaged in several "Mystery Skypes." Students worked together, using their geography and questioning skills, to figure out the location of the other classes.
