Ms. Cathy and Mrs. Thibodeau's Jensen Beach Elementary finished Valentine's Week with a party celebrating love and friendship planned by our room moms/dad. The children had a race, created crafts, had a special snack and story. The children ended the event by passing out Valentines to all their friends with the help of our parent volunteers. I would like to send a huge thank you to our room parents and volunteers for another fun filled and enjoyable event!

Love is in the air in Ms. Cathy and Mrs. Thibodeau's VPK class at Jensen Beach Elementary! Our flower shop opened just in time for Valentine's Day. The children enjoyed exploring the roles of customer, florist, and cashier. The children also enjoyed Valentine sensory bins and playdough this week. Each child made two bookmarks and cards to give as Valentine's Day gifts. What a fun and busy week with these Mini-Vikings. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

After reading Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch, Mrs. Clark’s 2nd graders took the time to write friendly letters to a classmate, sharing kind words and thoughtful compliments. This heartwarming activity reminded us all how powerful it is to make someone feel seen, valued, and loved. It was so special to see the smiles and excitement as students read the letters from their friends. A little kindness goes a long way! 💌✨

Mrs. Higgins Third Grade Students had fun Reading with their Sweetheart on Valentine’s Day! 💝

Mrs. Clark’s 2nd graders had a blast learning about magnets! ✨ The 2nd graders were hands-on, experimenting with different magnets to see how they attract and repel. From making paperclips “magically” float to testing which objects are magnetic, it was a fun and interactive science lesson! 🔬These curious minds are discovering the wonders of science in the most exciting way! 🌟

In Mrs. Clark’s class, second graders engage in hands-on learning by constructing analog clock hands out of Play-Doh, helping them develop their time-telling skills. 🎨🕰️ They’ve been practicing reading clocks while squishing, shaping, and having fun with Playdoh. It’s the perfect way to combine learning and play. These future timekeepers are definitely mastering the hours and minutes in style! 👏🌟MA.2.M2.1

Ms. Stoilkov’s kindergarten students are nature journaling! There are so many benefits to nature journaling. It can enrich your experiences while developing observation skills and curiosity. It helps you discover, think, remember, and integrate new information with your existing knowledge. Our students are learning so much. (SC.K.L.14.3)

Mrs. Clark's amazing 2nd graders brought history to life with their Living Wax Museum! 🎭✨ From the American Revolution to modern-day heroes, they researched, dressed up, and became historical figures, sharing fascinating facts with everyone who visited. 🏺👑You truly made history come alive! 🎉👏
