Our Viking Visionaries have been hard at work inspiring their classmates to show up, shine, and take charge of their learning. 🌟 They recently visited our kindergarten classes to share why coming to school every day matters. From making new friends to building strong habits to earning leadership opportunities as they get older, they helped our youngest Vikings see that showing up opens doors. They’ve also been creating morning messages for WJBE to encourage all students to be here, be engaged, and be ready to learn. Attendance isn’t just a number. It’s a daily choice that helps every student grow. We’re so proud of their leadership and the positive influence they’re bringing to our campus. Keep leading the way, Visionaries! 💙💛📚

Mrs. McConnell’s fifth graders were hard at work with Building Thinking Classrooms as they explored rules for input-output tables 🔢✨. Students collaborated, shared their reasoning, and tested their ideas as they worked through different number patterns. It was great to see them talking math, thinking deeply, and supporting one another as they made sense of the relationships in each table. This kind of teamwork and problem solving is what Building Thinking Classrooms is all about, and they crushed it 👏💙.

We are so proud to share that Mrs. Jill Ann Boudreau, one of our incredible kindergarten teachers, is representing Jensen Beach Elementary as our Literacy Teacher of the Year 🎉📚. She creates a joyful, engaging, and purposeful literacy environment where students grow, take risks, and fall in love with learning. Her passion for early literacy shines through in everything she does, and her students feel it every day. We are grateful for her dedication and thrilled to celebrate her amazing work at JBE 💛👏.

Mrs. Licameli’s class took our SPIRE dictation steps and made them a little more interactive. Instead of jumping straight to pencil and paper, students worked together to break apart sounds, talk through spelling, and check their thinking as a team ✨. Once everyone agreed on the sounds and spelling, they wrote it on their dictation sheets. Their focus was the vowel team ou, and they did an awesome job applying what they’ve learned 📚👏!

Last week, our 2nd graders took their learning beyond the classroom with a fun and hands-on trip to the zoo! 🐾🦁 After spending the last few weeks studying habitats, animals, and their life cycles, they finally got to see it all up close. From watching animals in their natural-like habitats to spotting behaviors we talked about in class, the excitement was priceless! 🌿🐒🦋 Such a great day of learning, exploring, and connecting what we’ve studied to the real world. Proud of our curious kiddos! 💛📚

🦃🍁🍂HAPPY THANKSGIVING!🍂🍁🦃

Today, we’re grateful for our incredible students, dedicated educators, hardworking support staff, devoted families, and our entire community who make our A-rated District unstoppable. 🧡

Good morning, JBE family, and Happy Thanksgiving. Today we’re pausing to appreciate the people who make our school such a special place. We’re thankful for our students who bring joy, curiosity, and heart to our school every day. We’re thankful for our incredible teachers and staff who pour their passion into helping children learn and grow. And we’re thankful for our families, volunteers, and community partners whose support lifts our school in countless ways. However you celebrate, we hope your holiday is filled with rest, connection, and moments that remind you of what matters most. From our JBE family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving. 💙💛🦃

Our fourth graders are thriving in music with Mr. Skrobinski. He’s been guiding them through xylophone practice while helping them build a strong foundation in music theory, and their growth has been incredible to see. Students are learning how to read, play, and connect music in meaningful ways, and their confidence is shining through. We’re grateful for the energy, patience, and joy Mr. Skrobinski brings to his classroom every day. Way to go, fourth graders, and thank you, Mr. Skrobinski, for inspiring our musicians. 🎵💙💛

Our kindergarten students brought a little magic to JBE last week with their very own Balloons Over Broadway parade. After reading the beloved book and learning about the creativity behind the Macy’s parade balloons, our students designed and built their own balloon characters. They proudly marched through the school, sharing their hard work, imagination, and big kindergarten creativity with all of us. It was such a joyful celebration of reading, learning, and hands-on fun. We’re so proud of our youngest learners for bringing this tradition to life in such a special way. 💙💛🎈

We’re proud to share a special celebration from last week that filled our JBE family with joy. Taylor Grand, an outstanding 5th grade student, was recognized by the Jensen Beach Chamber of Commerce as Student of the Month. Taylor is the kind of student who lifts others up, works with quiet determination, and shows what it means to lead with heart. We’re so lucky to have her representing JBE. We’re equally thrilled to celebrate Mrs. Lauren Liberty, our incredible science teacher, who was honored as Teacher of the Month. Lauren brings curiosity, excitement, and genuine care into her classroom every single day. Her students feel it. Our staff feels it. Our whole school is better because of her. Please join us in congratulating Taylor and Mrs. Liberty. Their hard work, kindness, and positive spirit make us all proud to be part of Jensen Beach Elementary. 💙💛

Mrs. Clark’s 2nd graders loved learning all about the history of the Macy’s Day Parade this week! 🎈 After exploring how the iconic balloons came to be, they got to design their very own balloon they’d want to see floating down the parade route. Their creativity was sky-high! 🎉🦃

🦃✨ This week our students took time to reflect on what they are thankful for. Together, we created a “Thankful Turkey” in the media center, with each feather representing their words of gratitude. It’s a beautiful reminder of the many things we appreciate and the joy of coming together as a school family. 💛 Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁
