JES Students...don't forget to wear your RED, WHITE and BLUE in honor of our Veterans on Monday, November 11th.
5th graders understanding why Explorers were in search of a better trade route to Asia to obtain spices from the Spice Islands. They tasted plain oatmeal and plain cocoa, then added different spices to make it taste better and can now understand why spices were so valuable to obtain.
Second graders were demonstrating community P.R. I. D. E. and learning to read for an audience by reading to nursing home residents. All the residents spoke to the character of the students and hoped they could come back soon. Great job second Grade!
Third graders acted out one of their vocabulary words, “frozen”. It was impressive to see who could stay frozen the longest!

Center-based learning in preschool! Centers are activities around the classroom that support learning intentions as well as social growth. These centers are self-selected by students and teachers also have the opportunity to target individual skills with small groups.
6th Graders are learning about Population Dynamics by working collaboratively on their Science Stations. In one station they must go fishing for Tiger Sharks and track how many have already been caught, then chart the data and compute the total estimated population.
JES Students of the Week for the month of October - great job to all of you! These students were selected throughout the month of October for showing their PRIDE (Perseverance, Responsibility, Integrity, Diligence and Effort).
