Last week we read chapters 1-5, this week we are reading chapters 6-10 and next week we will read chapters 11-15. Our 3rd-5th grade students have created their wish for our JBN Wishtree. K-2nd grade will create their next. “Save the date” for our Family Reading Night on Thursday Nov. 20th 5:45-7:30. ALL families are invited to join in on fun activities aligned to the “Wishtree” book. Picture day is NEXT Tuesday! Click for info In addition to the typical school pictures of your child, the whole school will take a Panoramic photo on the blacktop on Oct. 17th.

Usually we invite parents for an after school/evening shopping night on Wednesday but this year we have a conflict with the Homecoming Parade so the Parent night is NEXT Tuesday from 6-7:30. Next Wednesday is Batavia’s Homecoming parade. Students and staff will participate in a “Bulldog Spirit day” at JB. Wear red, yellow and any Batavia spirit wear you might have! The parade is downtown and starts at 5:00. We will see you all on Monday where we will continue our “Mindful Monday” series for the year. Staff and students are invited to wear comfy clothes (Example: yoga pants and joggers, not Pj’s) and we will continue to focus on Skills for Self Management. As always, please make sure your child charges their Chromebook so they are ready for learning! 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 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. |
