Don't Forget!

JPS will have its first PTA meeting on January 16th at 5:00 p.m. Come join us to discuss future meetings, fundraisers, and bettering our children's futures. Hope to see you there!

School Board Appreciation

It is school board appreciation month and our class designed a beautiful card. Ms. Becky thought a pop up card would be neat. The theme was "Soaring to New Heights." I think that we did a great job. What do you think?

These are from our rock and soil project. The kids had to pour their soil into the colander and sort through what was left in it. 

They found clay pieces, tiny rocks, grass, and much more. It was messy and fun.

We examined the rocks sorting them by size, shape, and color. 

This is our Halloween Book Character project. They did an amazing job. 

Our turkey project was so colorful. I enjoyed looking at all their unique feathers.

Of course, a picture wouldn't be complete without Ms. Shyger in it!

October

The month of October just flew by. I can't believe how fast this year is going. Soon it will be Thanksgiving break, Christmas, and then a brand new year. It is incredible how much your child has grown since the beginning of the year. I'm very proud of our progress.

The spelling test went very well on Friday. There were a few misspellings and switching of letters, but overall everyone did fantastically.

I have not received a breakfast or lunch menu as of yet. I will ask Ms. Shyger if she has received a new monthly calendar asap.

The Halloween party went very well. The kiddos had a great time. We had a ton of sweets. We had so much that we actually carried our Halloween festivities into this week. A big thank you to everyone that helped make our party so wonderful.

The Butterfly Garden

Our kids worked so hard in the butterfly garden at the beginning of October. They worked with the high school kids to create seed balls for planting around the lake. They also weeded the garden, planted small plants, and spread soil. The kindergarten classes have done a fantastic job. We are currently working on our vegetable garden. Our class has been stacking boxes, moving soil, cleaning out grass, and much more.
