Welcome to the Sheridan Green Elementary Library! Our beloved library is here to help instill a lifelong love of reading in your Little Gator.

Hour of Code!

December is Hour of Code month. Hour of Code was created because there are so many opportunities to be a coder and not enough qualified people for the jobs. Coding is a whole lot of fun, too. Do YOU have what it takes to code? For more information about Hour of Code, click here or click the clock above!

Hello, I'm Joy Jones and this is my first year at Sheridan Green. I have a BS in horticulture, a MAT in elementary education, and completed the coursework for an EdD in instructional technology. The universities I attended were Southern Illinois University, National-Louis University, and Northern Illinois University, respectively. It's my 16th year as a teacher-librarian in Jeffco and I live in nearby Arvada.

I'm happy to have joined such a supportive and well-respected group of teachers as those whom I work with at Sheridan Green. I believe in making the library inviting, welcoming, and a place kids want to visit. A true hub of the school. I have a strong technology background and, coupled with a love for reading, strive to offer students the best learning experience possible.

When I'm not at school, my horticulturist husband and I raise chickens and grow perennial trial gardens for the Western region of the United States. But our big news is that our son, Charlie, just joined the navy overThanksgiving break! We are so proud of him. We also have dogs, cats, and koi fish. Besides gardening and taking care of critters I like to cook and camp. I bought a small pull-behind camper and visit all parts of the country during the summer - just me and a different dog or cat each time. Last summer I explored the Pacific Northwest that way.

Thanks for sharing your kids with me! I look forward to getting to know them all.
