February 25th-March 1st, 2019

It is hard to believe the month of February is already coming to an end. On Monday, February 25th the 3rd graders will be visiting upper elementary. This is a wonderful opportunity for them to experience what all JBMA has to offer them next year. We will also be welcoming the incoming kindergarten students to our environment. This is an important time for our students to take on more of a leadership role.

This week students will learn about dividing a fraction by a whole number and continue to practice measuring quadrilaterals. First graders are learning about prepositions, second graders are learning about pronouns, while third graders are learning sentence analysis. All students are practicing abbreviations and contractions. Next week we will finish our month long student on Black History by honoring famous Alabamians.

Next Wednesday, February 27th, 3rd grade parents will have a short meeting at 7:30 am to discuss our upcoming overnight field trip to Camp McDowell.

 The end of the 3rd quarter is March 1st. Progress reports will be sent home the week of March 11th.

Lower Elementary will be having parent -  teacher conferences on Thursday, March 14th and 15th. Students will be dismissed at 1 pm on both days. We do have aftercare available. Please make arrangements accordingly.
