Thinking was visible everywhere at JBE during our Principal’s Classroom focused on Building Thinking Classrooms! 💙
Teachers immersed themselves in high-engagement math strategies right alongside students, experiencing firsthand how these approaches spark discussion, problem solving, and deep understanding. Our students rose to the challenge, actively sharing their thinking and showing just how powerful engagement can be. 😄
A special thank you to Denise Harrison, our district math coach, for helping lead this learning alongside our students and staff. Her support continues to strengthen math instruction across our school.
We are so proud of our teachers for continually growing their practice to give our Vikings the very best learning experiences every day. 💛

Caring in action at JBE! 💙
Our amazing school counselor, Mrs. Sportsman, has been working with our first graders on what it means to care for others. Through fun lessons and hands-on collaborative activities, students practiced sharing, helping, listening, and encouraging one another.
It was heartwarming to see our young Vikings putting caring into action and learning that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. 💛

Winter came to kindergarten… JBE style! ❄️
Ms. Boudreau’s class explored a series of books about winter and snow, building vocabulary and comprehension along the way. To celebrate their learning, students wrapped up with a fun “snowball toss” — safely tossing soft snowballs at Principal Smith! 🎯😄
A perfect mix of literacy, movement, and joy — learning brought to life! 💙

💗 For the Love of Reading 💗
We’re spreading the love of reading!
This week, students from the JBHS National English Honor Society visited our K–3 classrooms to read aloud to our students. This special event celebrated literacy, leadership, and the joy of sharing stories together.
Thank you to our amazing student readers and teachers for helping make reading magical!

Ms. Creager's first graders participated in a Building Thinking Classrooms activity to review for their upcoming test on comparing and ordering two digit numbers!
Love is in the air in Curtner/Monaghan's third grade classroom! We have been busy reading to our sweethearts, writing haikus, and exploring fractions through crayon creations and cookie making. 💕📚

2nd grade turned into a full-blown wax museum 🤩
We traveled through history with an amazing lineup of “historical figures” — from Cleopatra to Lady Gaga, and everyone in between! The creativity, confidence, and hard work from all of our second graders was incredible. They researched, memorized, and presented like pros, and we couldn’t be more proud. 🏛️✨
What a fun and unforgettable way to bring history to life! 💛📚
