Week of September 4th

Hi Everyone,

     I hope everyone had a wonderful 3-day weekend. It was great to have a extra day to sleep in and spend time with family.

     I will be out on Thursday, Friday and Monday. Mrs. King, who subs a lot at JBE will subbing all three days. If any emergency should arise please send an email to Ms. Billiard or call the front office. 

     We will have Fall Pictures on tomorrow. These pictures will be used in the year book. Students don't need to do anything but wear their best smile.

     Also on tomorrow we will go to our first Enrichment Lab for this year. Ms. Johnson's class will go Code.org with Ms. Chin and Technology Skills with Ms. Strong. Ms. Billiard's class will go to Etiquette with Ms. Comacho and Fitness with Coach Banister. Labs begin at 1:10 and end at 2:45.

     All students new to Duval County Public Schools will go down for vision screening on this Friday. If your child normally wears glasses/contacts please make sure that they wear them on Friday.

     This week in math we work on using the standard algorithm for addition and subtraction. Students need to be able to line up the numbers according to their place value and show any needed regrouping in their work. You might know that regrouping as "carrying" when adding or "borrowing" when subtracting. Students also need to be able to figure what digit is missing from a completed problem.

     Now that we are done with our i-Ready testing we will hopefully begin to get ourselves on schedule and have time to do our science lessons everyday. We will continue to work on working like a scientist this week. Students did not take the quiz for lessons 1-3 last week so we will take that this week on Thursday. 

     This week in social studies students should read lesson 4 in chapter 1. This lesson is all about Florida's climate and resources. Students can also begin to take a look at the map skills and latitude/longitude skill builders on pages 12 and 26.

Have a Wonderful Week,

Ms. Johnson
