The Wilkerson Book Quest reading challenge is still going strong!! Stacks of trading cards are going out each week. One challenge is to read a book to someone else, so a 4th grader read a book to one of our kindergarten classes to earn his card. @jcps-lms.bsky.social @jcaslky.bsky.social

5th graders at Wilkerson Elementary were productive collaborators and effective communicators this week when they worked as a team using one marker and four strings to draw different items. #jcpsjourneytosuccess #jcpslibraries #jcaslky @jcaslky.bsky.social @jcps-lms.bsky.social

5th graders @Wilkerson are learning different ways to be effective communicators by playing charades. 1st round only spoken words, 2nd round no words only body movement, 3rd round only drawing and 4th round only written words. @jcaslky.bsky.social @jcps-lms.bsky.social

We have a new reading challenge this year called the Wilkerson Book Quest. Staff chose a reading challenge and I created trading cards the Ss can earn after meeting the challenge. Ss are already excited and earning cards! Thank you Hannah Ogden for the idea and templates! @jcps-lms.bsky.social

Wonderful visit with Emily from the @lfpl.bsky.social today at Wilkerson about their amazing summer reading program. @jcps-lms.bsky.social @jcaslky.bsky.social

Breakout boxes are ALWAYS fun and engaging. We did a little poetry review with the Wilkerson 4th and 5th graders today. @breakoutedu.com @jcps-lms.bsky.social @jcaslky.bsky.social

Our field trip to Mammoth Cave was canceled for Monday, but the students had the chance to share their National Park board games with their peers and staff today. What a fun and informative event! @jcaslky.bsky.social @nationalparks.bsky.social @jcps-lms.bsky.social @kasl.us

2nd graders researched emotion coping strategies then created emoji cards to share with Wilkerson students for the #studentsrebuild and #creativevisions Spark Peace Project. They are helping the school community while raising money to help create peace around the world. #jcpslibraries #jcaslky

This is one of my favorite products for bio research. This project hits reading, writing, speaking, first person POV and art. They were shown on the school newscast for everyone to enjoy. #jcpslibraries #authenticaudience #jcpsdigin #chatterpix #jcaslky @jcps-lms.bsky.social @jcaslky.bsky.social

4th graders researched another US National Park and are creating board games. I cannot wait to learn about the parks while playing their games! #jcpslibraries #jcpsgiftedandtalented #wilkerson #usnationalparks

We started Selfie Scavenger Hunts today and the students had such a great time learning the new layout of the library!
