🧠💙 Building Thinking Classrooms in Mrs. Clark’s 2nd Grade! 💛
Our mathematicians worked together, shared strategies, and learned from one another as we kicked off Topic 3: Adding Within 100! ➕✨
We’re learning that in math, there’s more than one way to solve a problem—and sometimes our friends help us see it in a whole new way! 🧩🤝📚
🍭 Multiplication properties have never been so sweet!
Mrs. Curtner’s third graders have been putting their multiplication skills into action with some creative, hands-on learning! Students explored multiplication properties through edible creations and flower shop projects, making math both meaningful and fun.
We love seeing our Vikings learning, creating, and building their math skills along the way! 💙💛

🇺🇸 Celebrating Constitution Week at JBE! 🇺🇸 Our fifth-grade students had the opportunity to welcome Loretta Hall, Esq. as a special guest speaker in celebration of Constitution Week! Ms. Hall shared her knowledge about the U.S. Constitution, our system of government, and the important role attorneys play in upholding the law. Our Vikings were engaged, asked great questions, and left inspired. In fact, a few students are now thinking they might want to become attorneys themselves one day! ⚖️ Thank you, Ms. Hall, for sharing your time and expertise with our students and helping bring their learning to life! 💙💛
Bringing Jensen Beach history to life! 📚
Mrs. Pendergast’s 5th Grade class welcomed two special community guests, Ron Rose, President & CEO of the Jensen Beach Chamber of Commerce, and Ann Kagdis, President of the History Museum of Jensen Beach.
As part of the students’ Quarter 1 Gifted Project, Ron and Ann shared stories from Jensen Beach’s history and helped our students explore the theme of perseverance through the people and events that shaped our community. What a meaningful way for our Vikings to connect their classroom learning to the history right outside our doors!
A huge thank you to Ron and Ann for sharing their time, knowledge, and love of Jensen Beach with our students, and to Mrs. Pendergast for creating opportunities that make learning meaningful and memorable. We are so grateful for community partners who help bring learning to life at JBE! 💙💛

💙💛 Viking Spirit was in full force at our first Spirit Assembly of the year!
We loved coming together as a school to recognize our Students of the Month for Citizenship! 🌟 These Vikings were recognized for being positive members of our school community and showing through their actions what it means to be a great citizen at JBE. We are so proud of them!
We also celebrated our classes for earning Compliment Coins as part of our PBIS system! 👏 Classes earn coins when they are “caught” demonstrating positive behavior throughout our school, and our Vikings have been doing an amazing job!
Congratulations to our Students of the Month and to all of our classes earning Compliment Coins. What a great way to kick off our Spirit Assemblies this year!

What a sweet night at The Scoop! 🍦💙💛
Our JBE staff traded classrooms for ice cream scoops, serving up treats while our Viking families came out to support our PTA Giveback Night!
Thank you to The Scoop for hosting us, to our amazing staff members who jumped behind the counter, and to all of our families who stopped by. We love any opportunity to spend time together while supporting our school.
Great ice cream, great company, and an even better community! 💙💛
📚💙💛 Learning together at JBE!
We loved welcoming our Kindergarten and 1st Grade families for our UFLI Family Night! Mrs. Boudreau and Mrs. Engel led families through the UFLI routines and strategies our students use in the classroom to build strong foundational reading skills.
Families had the opportunity to learn more about how we teach early literacy and ways they can reinforce those same skills at home. When families and schools work together, our Vikings benefit! 💙💛
A big thank you to Mrs. Boudreau and Mrs. Engel for leading the evening and to all of our families who joined us. We loved learning alongside you! 📖✨

🌎🐾 Our little explorers have been busy! 🐾🌎
Mrs. Clark’s 2nd graders traveled around the world while learning about different habitats and researching the plants and animals that live there. 🌿🦁🌊 Then, they brought their learning to life with their very own habitat dioramas! 📦✨
So proud of these creative little scientists! 💙💛
💙💛 Celebrating the State of Our District! 💙💛
It was wonderful to attend the Martin County School District’s State of the District event and hear Superintendent Michael Maine share the great work happening across our schools and the exciting things ahead.
I was especially happy to have Tammy Calabria, Executive Director of The Children’s Museum of the Treasure Coast, join me as JBE’s community partner. We are so grateful for the partnerships that connect our school with our community and create meaningful opportunities for our students.
It was also great to see our amazing JBE PTA President, Andi McAvoy, there supporting our schools and representing our Viking community!
We are so fortunate to be surrounded by people who care deeply about our students and schools. 💙💛
