January 11-14, 2019

We have had a wonderful full week back since break.

The students have been learning about indigenous people

of North America and the Bering Land Bridge Theory. The

students completed maps of North America as well. Next

week, we will begin learning about other tribes of the United

States. In science, students started learning about the human

systems. We will continue learning the functions of those

systems through the month of January.

First graders learned about linking verbs and had their first

lesson on rounding. Second graders were introduced to adverbs

while third graders reviewed conjunctions from last year. All

students were introduced to descriptive writing and will continue

to practice the skill over the next few weeks. We have continued

to work with the students on money word problems.

Please make note that JBMA will be closed on Monday, January

21st in remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr..

Also, as long as weather permits we will be going outside.

Please send your child with appropriate outerwear.
