We are inspired by our Mount Vernon Community of students, families, and staff who are showing great resilience, determination, and creativity to stay connected with one another and to support student learning. Their efforts to continue to make Every Day Count during this unprecedented time are amazing! Teaching & Learning staff are excited to share resources and ideas for staying connected and supporting student learning. Students are likely to hear from their classmates, teachers, and school sites with ways to stay engaged. Maintaining our sense of community supports our social-emotional health and will help each of us to remain engaged in learning. We hope you engage with and enjoy the ideas we post on our Every Day Counts! student learning blog. Stay tuned--we plan to begin posting on Monday, March 23rd! Many of the resources we will be sharing are available to all students via the MV TECHSMART K-12 DIGITAL LITERACY site.

4-20-2020 Learn to Draw and Tell Stories with JJK

Jarrett J. Krosoczka—author & illustrator is teaching how to draw characters, illustrate and write stories!  Each weekday at 11:00 am he is doing a live drawing lesson on his YouTube page.  If you miss the live session, you can go back and watch at anytime.

Here is his first video introducing this project.  He shows us some of his drawings and stories he wrote as a kid and then he shows how he creates his characters for his books now. You can even see how he draws Yoda!




1. Can you create a new character for a book?
2. What would your book be about?
3. Why not try to draw and write a little each day.
