Happy New Year!
Welcome back! We are so excited to begin the second semester with our students and families! We hope that the holiday break was full of fun and relaxation, and we are looking forward to continuing our work together! We have been spending time looking over our data and planning for moving forward in order to make this semester as productive as possible. These are exciting times at JBE!
Students Return - Tuesday, January 4!
Lunch Visitors
Come and join your student(s) for lunch! We have a special place set up on the stage for that purpose. Please email your child's teacher or Mr. Duvall (jmduvall@spart7.org) to set up a day for you to join them. You should receive confirmation within two days of your email. If it is your child's birthday, please remember that you can bring food for them only, and that includes a dessert such as cupcakes.
E-Learning
On Friday, January 7, our students will complete a short practice run to prepare for the possibility of E-Learning during this Winter. Please feel free to follow up with them and ask them what they practiced!
Report Cards - Monday, January 10 (iReady Home Reports will be included!)
Keep Moving Forward!
While we continue to emphasize the importance of iReady, there are so many aspects of our students' academic growth on which we want to focus. One of those is the importance of reading--not just a student sitting and reading, which so many of our students thoroughly enjoy--but the discussion and questions that follow. Join us in asking your students about what they are currently reading, ask them to recap what they read in class each day with their classmates and teacher, or read together with them. This time they are spending with you all outside of school will help to solidify what they learned during the school day, and it will create some memories with you!
"We're off to see the Wizard!"
Our main characters for "The Wizard of Oz" got off to a great start before the holidays, and we will soon begin practice with Casts A and B. Parents of students in grades 1-4 who signed up to participate in the production, be on the lookout for your schedule and cast assignment very soon!
