This is an exciting time of year at Jackson School! This week, we celebrate with the Book Fair and engage students in reflection on their growth since the start of the school year. Please note that Monday is a full day of school and then students are off the remainder of the week. We look forward to seeing many families at conferences Monday night and Tuesday!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones. We hope everyone has an opportunity to rest, relax, and spend time doing activities that bring you joy.

We had a great week at Jackson School. Our students are moving into their second unit of Wit and Wisdom. Throughout this unit, they will be introduced to additional text types and writing genres. Writing about their reading continues to be a focus on our literacy instruction.

Last Friday, we hosted three district office leaders and two board members for a visit at Jackson school. They were able to see the amazing instruction in our 1st and 3rd grade classrooms using our new ELA core resources; Wit and Wisdom and FUNdations. We also toured the new library and playground. It was wonderful to show some points of pride to our community leaders!

Short weeks at Jackson school are action packed! Our students are busy in classrooms practicing their reading and writing skills. Our classes are about halfway through their first module of our new reading and writing curriculum resource, Wit and Wisdom. In every grade level, students are reading, discussing, and writing about text.

4th graders are extending their learning of the circulatory system with a zoom call with Dr. Stear, Mrs. Lejcar’s neighbor and a general surgeon! He came ready for trivia, a lesson on blood, and then narrated the dissection a sheep heart. Students followed along with a diagram and walked away understanding how the heart works. #wearejacksond205 #weared205
