Exciting news🎉Thanks to our amazing partners at @JoeVsSmartShop & @SuperiorText, @ASJohnston1 now has its very own book vending machine! 📚✨Students can choose books to build their home libraries & celebrate the joy of reading. Partnerships like this keep literacy thriving!❤️

The power of sound in storytime!🔊📚 Kinder students @ASJohnston1 listened to different noises to infer what might’ve caused the dinosaurs’ extinction🦕then used think-pair-share & sentence stems to express their ideas. A masterclass in curiosity, language, and critical thinking!

We introduced Optimus Lime to Ms. Murray’s kinder class at @ASJohnston1, & the excitement was contagious! 🤖💚 Students had an amazing time engaging in the Sensory Circuit—learning, moving, and exploring through play and sound! 🎶✨ #ExcellenceInAction @ASJLibrary
