From the Crocker Library
On May 18th, Crocker welcomed author Lauren Wolk for a virtual author visit. Ms. Wolk joined us to talk about her new book My Own Lightning, the sequel to Wolf Hollow, which earned her a Newbery Honor. In a happy coincidence, her book Echo Mountain was the winner in Crocker’s Battle of the Books this year. If you would like to order any of Ms. Wolk’s books, please complete this online order form through Hickelbee’s bookstore. The last day to order is May 25th, and books will be delivered to school after Memorial Day weekend. A big thank you to Hickelbee’s in San Jose for supporting schools with great author visits.
Echo Mountain was Crocker's Battle of the Books winner this year, with Daughter of the Deep and Amari and the Night Brothers as the other two titles in the final three. Thank you to our Battle of the Books judges for their thoughtful reading and rich discussions about books. For more information about Crocker’s Battle of the Books, contact Mrs. Gilchrist. Here are our 2022 judges. Students: Valentina, Elizabeth, Brody, Nathan, Kenna, Ariana, Olivia, Emi, Isabella, Shaela, Ethan, Sadie, Mariella and Allison, and our staff judges: Ms. Alich, Ms. Tichy, Mr. Miller, Mrs. Struble, Mrs. Ayer, Ms. Woods, Mrs. Rodriguez, Ms. Frankel, Mr. MacKenzie, Mrs. Grady, Mrs. Brady, Ms. Edwards, Ms. Dumpis, and Mrs. Morganstern.
Summer Reading- Crocker does not have required summer reading, but students are encouraged to find some great books to read on their own during the summer. A list of recommended books will be available at Open House and linked to the Crocker Library website at that time. Additionally, a representative from the public library will be at Crocker the week of 5/23 to talk with all students about their Summer Learning program. Contact Mrs. Gilchrist if you have any questions.
