Students in Mrs. Ellberg's first grade class ventured outside for a leaf project!
After collecting their leaves, they piled them inside the classroom to examine them and found that they have veins and each one is unique, just like our students!

We do more than just read in the Jefferson Library! This week we showcased skills we have been learning during Computers this year.💻 First Graders combined their creativity and clicking & dragging skills to compose BEAUTIFUL music on their Chromebooks.🎵 Second Graders demonstrated their typing, spelling, creative writing,Google Slides knowledge, public speaking and their highly developed sense of humor by designing their own Graphic Novel pages in Google Slides. It has been a great year in the library. 🤩
