Mrs. Monaghan's and Mrs. Curtner's third graders were feeling a little "BATTY" this week! They read in a bat cave, researched, measured, multiplied, divided, planted, and enjoyed a batty treat!










Mrs. Higgins' class and all JBE 3rd graders celebrated Bat Day ๐ฆ to welcome October! They read in the bat cave, did "batty" multiplication, researched bats, planted ๐ฑ in bat containers, and of course had a bat snack.










STRONG ATTENDANCE = STRONG LEARNING ๐ช๐
When students are in class every day, they gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to succeed.
Attendance always matters, but October 6-10 is especially important. That's the week the state takes its enrollment snapshot to decide school funding for the year.
โ Students in class = accurate snapshot = the right funding to support stronger schools in our A-rated District and better opportunities for our kids.
Let's work together to make sure our students are here next weekโit makes a difference for everyone.

๐โจ JBE Media Center Celebrates Comic Book & Graphic Novel Month! โจ๐
October is recognized by the Childrenโs Book Council as Comic Book and Graphic Novel Monthโa time to celebrate this exciting and creative medium! ๐จ๐ฆธโโ๏ธ๐ฆธโโ๏ธ
Our students learned all about onomatopoeiasโthe fun sound words that bring comic books to life (think BAM!, CRASH!, POW!). Then, they had a blast creating their own! ๐ฅ๐ฌ
We love seeing our Vikings bring reading, writing, and art together in such a fun and imaginative way. โค๏ธ๐










Mrs. Clarkโs 2nd graders have been hard at work with UFLI phonics! ๐งฒโ๏ธ Weโve been building words with magnets and practicing our best spelling through writing. These readers are growing stronger every day and having fun while they do it! ๐๐โจ








โจ Mrs. Boudreauโs Littles have been shining in UFLI! โจ
Itโs incredible to see the progress theyโve made after just a few short weeks of learning. We are so proud of their hard work and growth! ๐๐
