4th graders at Wilkerson sharpened their research skills with @pebblego_capstone while completing Black History Month crossword puzzles this week. @jcps_lms @jcaslky #jcpslibraries #jcaslky

The @WilkersonElem Book Quest trading card challenge has a new hip hop animal series and the Ss are loving the new cards! Biography series up next! @JCPS_LMS @JCASLKY #readingpromotions #jcpslibraries #jcaslky

4th graders @WilkersonElem presented products for their #nationalpark research projects. 3D print for @WhiteSandsNPS diorama for @CavernsNPS & slideshows using @googleslides and @Canva for @EvergladesNPS and @BryceCanyonNPS were just a few #jcpslibraries #jcaslky @PrinWilkerson

The Wilkerson Book Quest reading challenge is still going strong!! Stacks of trading cards are going out each week. I cannot walk down the hallway without being asked when the next batch of cards is going out. ❤️ @jcps_lms @jcaslky #jcpslibraries #jcaslky

5th graders at @WilkersonElem were productive collaborators and effective communicators this week when they worked as a team using one marker and four strings to draw different items. @JCPS_LMS @JCASLKY #jcpslibraries #jcaslky

5th graders @WilkersonElem are learning about 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 @jcps_lms #jcpslibraries #jcaslky

We have a new reading challenge this year called the @WilkersonElem 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 @hannahogden1 for the idea and templates!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! FISH IN A TREE is my thank you/love note to those teachers out there saving kids each day. I will choose a winner each day for a week. Please share to enter. And, again, thanks so much for all you do. ❤️

3rd and 4th graders @WilkersonElem had such a fun and challenging time with #pentominoes in the library last week. @JCPS_LMS @JCASLKY #jcpslibraries #jcaslky #problemsolvers #learningfun #spatialreasoning

Breakout boxes are ALWAYS so fun and engaging. A little poetry review today for our 4th and 5th graders. #engagedlearners #breakoutboxes #jcaslky #jcpslibraries @JCASLKY @JCPS_LMS @WilkersonElem @breakoutEDU #productivecollaborators

Our field trip to Mammoth Cave was canceled because of flooding, but the Ss were able to play their #NPS board games with Ss and staff today. Learning through games and fun for all! #jcpsjourneytosuccess #jcpslibraries #jcaslky #jcpsgiftedandtalented #authenticaudience

How do you get Ss excited about writing sequentially w/details? Have them create monsters & write directions for drawing the monster. Then read the directions to the class as they try to recreate the monster. Very eye opening for the ss. #jcpslibraries #elainthelibrary #jcaslky

2nd graders researched emotion coping strategies then created emoji cards to share with @WilkersonElem students for the #studentsrebuild and #creativevisions Spark Peace Project. They are helping their school community while raising money. #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

4th graders researched another US National Park and are creating board games. I cannot wait to learn about the parks while playing their games! @jcps_lms @jcaslky #jcpslibraries @JCPSGT @WilkersonElem #usnationalparks @USGovparks #jcaslky

5th graders @WilkersonElem were effective communicators when they drew pictures using ribbon tied to one marker. Thank you @OVECkyed for such engaging lesson ideas. @JCPS_LMS #jcaslky #jcpslibraries #oveckyed @JCASLKY

Please checkout the @WilkersonElem 2nd graders’ book care videos created using @DoInkTweets. The Ss did all the artwork, recording & editing and the videos were shown on our school newscast. #jcpslibraries #jcaslky #doink #jcpsdigin

Less than 24 hours #jcaslky

There are days I like my job, then there are days I ❤️ my job. Today was the latter. 5th grade G&T ss have been researching topics of their choice to create podcasts. They provided feedback to peers and self-reflected better than I’ve ever seen. #jcpsdigin #jcpslibraries #jcaslky
