🇺🇸❤️🤍💙 Honoring Our Heroes! ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
This week, our JBE family came together for a special Veterans Day celebration to honor the brave men and women who have served our country.
It was a beautiful opportunity for our students to learn about the importance of service, sacrifice, and gratitude while showing their appreciation for the heroes in our community.
To all of the veterans who joined us, thank you for allowing us to celebrate you! And to every veteran, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your courage, dedication, and service to our nation.
We are so proud to share these meaningful moments with our students and remind them that freedom is a gift made possible by the sacrifices of others.
🇺🇸 From all of us at JBE, thank you, veterans! 💙💛

We loved celebrating our Positive Office Referral superstars this week!
🌟 These Vikings were recognized for making great choices, showing kindness, and living out our schoolwide expectations: Just Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Everyone’s Responsible.
We are so proud of the positive examples they set each day. Way to go, Vikings! 💛💙
🧀📏 Third graders in Mrs. Higgins’ class got hands-on with math as they explored area using Cheez-Its! 😋 Students practiced measuring the space inside a shape by covering it with equal-sized square units. Who knew math could be so cheesy?! 🧀🤩
We love finding fun and engaging ways to make learning stick! 💛💙
🌊 Another great learning experience for JBE!
Mrs. Rodriguez recently represented JBE at the Guy Harvey Summit in Orlando, connecting with educators and conservation leaders and continuing to grow the work we’re doing as a Guy Harvey Conservation School. 🐢🐠
We are so proud to have teachers who seek out opportunities to learn, bring back new ideas, and create meaningful experiences for our students.
Thank you, Mrs. Rodriguez, for representing JBE and helping our Vikings become the next generation of environmental stewards! 💙💛🌎
📚✨ Kindergarten 🍎✏️ had a BLAST celebrating our love of reading by dressing up as our favorite book characters! From Cat in the Hat, Goodnight Moon, to Pete the Cat and so many more, our classrooms were filled with little book characters and BIG smiles! 🐱🎩🌙
Our wonderful teachers joined in on the fun, dressing up as UFLI butterflies! 🦋 It was such a special day celebrating our favorite stories, bringing books to life, and sharing our love of reading!

🎨 Celebrating 250 Years of America through art!
Our talented 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade Viking artists recently participated in the annual Congressional Youth Art Contest, presented by U.S. Congressman Brian Mast!
This year's theme, "Celebrating 250 Years of America," gave our students an opportunity to showcase their creativity, imagination, and artistic talents.
We are especially excited to celebrate the ten students pictured who were selected to represent JBE in the competition! ⭐
Congratulations to all of our young artists for their beautiful work, and best of luck to our ten representatives! We are so proud of you! 💙💛🎨

🎃👻 Spooky Learning Fun in 2nd Grade! 🕸️🧡
Mrs. Clark’s 2nd graders had a spook-tacular time rotating through Halloween centers! 🦇 We cracked spooky codes using 2-digit addition and subtraction, rolled our way into creative story writing, and explored a haunted house on Maple Street! 🏚️✏️🔢
Who knew learning could be so BOO-tifully fun?! 👻🧡🖤
JBE K-Kids are making a difference! 💙💛
It’s been a busy and exciting month for our K-Kids! We kicked things off with officer elections. Congratulations to our newly elected President Hailey Bertolini, Vice President Levi Wiggins, and Secretary Alice Pollen! We can’t wait to see the great things you’ll accomplish this year!
Our K-Kids also wrapped up their Thanksgiving Food Drive, packing a whopping 34 bags of food for families in need right here in our community! 🦃
A HUGE thank-you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and helped make this food drive such a success. Your generosity is making a difference for local families!
We are so proud of our K-Kids for continuing to show what it means to serve others and make our community a better place!
Once a Viking, always a Viking! 💙💛
🎃👻 Kindergarten 🍎✏️ had a spooktacular day of Halloween learning!
Our little learners rotated through fun, hands-on Halloween stations that combined creativity, critical thinking, and important academic skills! They wrote about their favorite candy, rolled dice to practice number recognition and counting with stickers, used their STEM skills to build houses for their ghosts, decorated pumpkins using a variety of shapes, and built spooky CVC words!
To top off our fun-filled day, we finished by making delicious witches’ hats for snack! 🧙♀️🍫
So many smiles, creativity, and learning along the way! What a fun way to celebrate Halloween in Kindergarten! 🧡🖤🎃
🌿🐟 Learning comes to life at the Environmental Studies Center!
Mrs. Sugg’s 3rd graders had a great day exploring and learning at the Environmental Studies Center! Students headed into the water to seine, caught and identified a variety of species, learned more about our Indian River Lagoon, and got an up-close look at some of the amazing animals that call our local environment home. 🐠🦀
What a great way to take learning beyond the classroom and experience the incredible ecosystem right in our own backyard! 💙💛🌊

🌟📚 Little Learners, BIG Leaders! 💙💛
Our 2nd graders took the lead during Student-Led Conferences! 🎉 They proudly shared their goals for the year, celebrated their glows and grows, and even showed their families how to look back at previous tests to track their progress! 📊✏️
It was so amazing to watch our students take ownership of their learning, build confidence, and shine as leaders! We are SO proud of them! 🌟💛
🌊🐠 Learning beyond the classroom!
Mrs. Rodriguez recently traveled to Key Largo to participate in Guy Harvey training, continuing to grow her knowledge of marine science, conservation, and environmental education. 🌴🐢
As a proud Guy Harvey Conservation School, opportunities like this help us bring meaningful, hands-on learning back to our students and deepen their connection to the incredible environment right here in South Florida.
We love seeing our teachers continue to learn, explore, and bring new experiences back to our Vikings. We can’t wait to see Mrs. Rodriguez put her learning into action at JBE! 💙💛🌊
🐦🔍 Bird Watching at JBE!
With the help of the Oxbow Eco-Center, our Vikings had the opportunity to explore the wonderful world of bird watching right here on our campus! 🌿
Our K–2 students practiced their observation skills by identifying native Florida birds and recording their discoveries in their nature journals using Southeast Florida bird guides.
Our 3–5 students took their learning even further, identifying different bird species and exploring the unique adaptations and behaviors that help them survive in their environments.
We love seeing our students slow down, look closely, and discover the incredible biodiversity all around them. 🌎🐦
A big thank you to the Oxbow Eco-Center for helping us inspire curiosity and a love for the natural world in our young scientists! 💙💛
💙💛 Celebrating Our Teacher of the Year, Amanda McConnell! 💛💙
