Principal’s Message Do you follow us on Instagram? See what is happening at JB! Click here. All JBN events are on the JBN Parent calendar JB Nelson Families, It was so good to see all of you that attended our Family Reading Night last night. We hope that you enjoyed the sessions you chose and we are excited about adding the family wishes to our Wishtree in the courtyard. THANK YOU so much for all of the non-perishable food that was donated this week as part of our K Kids food drive. Every year it is amazing to see how much our JB families come together to support our community. The food will be donated to the Batavia Interfaith Food Pantry and will help those in need this holiday season. We will announce the total amount collected and the top classrooms for each grade level when we return to school on Monday! Everywhere you turn there are Pre-Black Friday sales happening! I often get asked what the school might need so this year we created an Amazon Wish list! Link to Recess Wish list This registry has items that support our Chill Zone, Recess equipment and our Dojo Store which is open at recess the last full week of each month. As always, please make sure your child charges their Chromebook and has their comfy clothes so they are ready for learning on our Mindful Monday! As a reminder, next week the students only have school on Monday and Tuesday. There will be NO SCHOOL Wednesday, Thursday or Friday of next week. ~Mrs. Prentiss |

S.E.L. (Social Emotional Learning) School-Home connections to help students grow their SEL skills! BPS Strategic Plan Priority 2, Strategy 3-Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Programs BPS Strategic Plan Priority 2, Strategy 4-Family & Community Partnerships All students at JBN learn about social emotional skills in their daily classroom meetings. All teachers follow the District’s Portrait of a Graduate sequence grades K-5. For the months of November and December our focus will be on Self Awareness. Students have been learning about how their actions impact others through learning about expected and unexpected behaviors. At school, we use the terms expected and unexpected behaviors to help students understand social expectations in a positive, concrete way. Expected behaviors are actions that help everyone feel safe, comfortable, and ready to learn. These behaviors match what others anticipate in a given situation. Examples of expected behaviors include listening when others are talking, taking turns, sharing, and following directions. Unexpected behaviors are actions that make the situation feel confusing, unsafe, or uncomfortable for others. They don’t match what people normally expect in that setting. Examples of unexpected behaviors include taking things from others, yelling or using unkind words, leaving the classroom without permission, or not following directions. |
