JB Nelson Families,
This week all students in grades 3-5 completed the Panorama Survey. This survey is a strengths based measure of social emotional skills like emotion regulation and grit. It also gives us information about students’ sense of belonging at school which is part of the District Strategic Plan that we are focused on this year.
Thank you to all families that have already made donations for our upcoming “Stronger Together” Jaguar Jog! Our goal is $7,500 and we have already raised over $2,000! The students are excited about the idea of seeing me get “slime” if we reach our goal. The money we raise supports Field trips for all grades, Author Visits, The Jaguar Jog will be held on Thursday, October 2nd from 4:30-6:00.

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 August and September our focus will be on Self Management.
Self-management is the ability to control your actions, emotions, and thoughts to make good choices. It means staying calm when frustrated, focusing on tasks, and practicing self-discipline. When you use self-management, you can set goals, make plans, and keep trying—even when things are difficult. This skill helps with schoolwork, friendships, and handling challenges. Learning to pause, take deep breaths, and think before acting is a powerful way to grow and succeed!
Students are learning about classroom regulation spots to help with regulating emotions and behaviors in the classroom. All classrooms at JBN have a regulation spot for students to use tools to help them regulate! A strategy they learn about in the regulation spot are different breathing techniques.
