The Fall Festival is coming up this Sunday from 1 to 3. There will be lots of fun for children of all ages. This year we will be having a dunking booth where the students can purchase tickets for an opportunity to get some of their favorite teachers and staff wet. There will also be an opportunity to purchase ornaments, plates, and mugs that they can create from Do It Yourself crafts. If you would like to volunteer you can use the following link to sign up:
On October 31 we will have our annual JBMA Halloween Parade. It is one of our annual traditions where students have an opportunity to dress up and learn from each other in a respectful manner. Students are invited to dress up as a character from a book, historical figure, or cultural representative. We aim to keep Halloween light-hearted and fun for everyone, and therefore will not allow weapons, masks, or anything scary. Our costume parade brings us together and we need to respect the needs of all children. Homework for October includes writing a paragraph about the character the child dressed as which will be shared with the class after the parade. The parade for grades 1-8 begins at 9:00 am.
Can you believe we are almost finished with the first quarter of this school year? This week students are wrapping up incomplete lessons and repeating lessons that they may need again. Each afternoon students have the opportunity to perform one of the top three experiments of this quarter. Students enjoy performing experiments independently. It is a joy to see the excitement and inspiration in your children as they explore the principles of science.
The week of October 24 we will hold 20 minute conferences for each family. Look for an email to sign up soon.
We hope to see you at the Fall Festival.
Ms. Carolyn & Ms. Genie
