🧠 Building Thinking Classrooms in Action! Mrs. Snyder’s 5th grade mathematicians were putting their thinking to work with a Building Thinking Classrooms (BTC) task focused on multiplying multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm. Students worked collaboratively to solve problems, explain their thinking, and learn from one another while building procedural fluency and strengthening their multiplication skills. We love seeing our Vikings thinking, talking, problem-solving, and growing together! 💙💛 #JBEVikings #BuildingThinkingClassrooms #MathInAction #VikingPride

🌿 Little Scientists, Big Discoveries! 🔎 Our K–2 Vikings are taking their learning outdoors through nature journaling! Students are learning to slow down, look closely, ask questions, and capture what they notice through drawings and writing. From tadpoles and plants to Venus flytraps and butterfly metamorphosis, our young scientists are discovering just how much there is to learn when they take a closer look at the world around them. 🐸🌱🦋 Nature journaling brings so many skills together, building scientific thinking, strengthening writing, encouraging curiosity, and helping students develop a deeper connection to the natural world. Best of all, this is just the beginning! Throughout the year, our students will continue heading outdoors to observe, wonder, write, and discover. 💙💛 #JBEVikings #EnvironmentalStewardship #LearningOutdoors #YoungScientists

💙 Character Counts at JBE! 💛 Our kindergarten Vikings are helping us celebrate Character Counts Week by showing that good character starts at every age! Throughout Character Counts, our students are learning about trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship, and what those traits look like in our classrooms, our school, and our community. We love watching our youngest Vikings learn that the choices they make each day can make a big difference! 💙💛 #CharacterCounts #JBEVikings #VikingPride

Celebrating respect and Viking spirit! 💙💛 Our latest Spirit Assembly was all about RESPECT! We came together as a school to celebrate what it means to show respect for ourselves, for others, and for our school community. We also recognized our Students of the Month who were selected for demonstrating respect and celebrated all the great things happening across JBE! We are proud of our Vikings for continuing to show that character counts both inside and outside the classroom. Way to go, Vikings! 💙💛

Learning together at JBE! 💙💛 At our latest School Advisory Council meeting, our SAC members had the opportunity to learn more about AVID and how its strategies support student learning at JBE. A special thank-you to Ashley Kemler from our Professional Learning Department for joining us to share more about AVID and lead our parents through some hands-on strategies so they could experience the learning for themselves!

From running laps and cheering on their friends to having parents join in on the fun, there were lots of smiles, energy, and Viking spirit throughout the day.
