All reading is good reading! Read a magazine, read a pamphlet, read signs wherever you go. Read on Sora, read on Comics Plus!

“I stayed up for five hours last night to finish this!“ Yellowjackets are a big fan of The Naturals series, especially the 8th grader who returned this with such enthusiasm this morning.

Not every book is for every reader- and that's ok! A student told me in the funniest way today a book was not for them. "Ms.Rosegrant, I'm pulling the plug, I took out my bookmark, I'm done!"

On Saturday, art made by the Jefferson GSA was a part of an installation on the National Mall organized by the ACLU as a celebration of trans people and trans allies. So proud of our students for creating something that was a part of this display. PC for the large installation image to the ACLU.

This book came in to be renewed today. “Don’t worry those aren’t papers from the book that’s where I keep my school papers. Then I know my spot in the book and where my work is” Maybe a binder for your schoolwork/bookmark for your book? 🤣

We're celebrating, as we do, with a whole bunch of wonderful books written by authors and starring characters of Asian and/or Pacific Islander descent. For even more recs, check out last year's post! Middle Grade The Queen Bees of Tybee County by Kyle Casey Chu After making the buzzer-beating shot at the Georgia basketball state championships, Derrick Chan becomes the star of Bayard Middle School, and Derrick’s single dad could not be prouder.
