I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful and thoughtful birthday wishes and gifts.
We will have our second early release this Wednesday. Students will be dismissed from school at 1:10. Don't forget we will also have our Wellness Wednesday lesson.
On 9/29/15, the USDOE officially recognized JBE as one of only 335 schools across the nation that year to receive the coveted National Blue Ribbon School Award for exemplary academic excellence. Because of this, the Jacksonville Beach Mayor, Mr. Charlie Latham, proclaimed September 29th, as Jacksonville Beach Elementary School Day! All faculty/staff members and students are asked to wear a Jax Beach shirt this Friday, 9/27/19, to show their school pride and celebrate this tremendous achievement!
We will have our first ticket cash in this Friday. Depending on the number of tickets that students have saved, students will be able to purchase a reward.
Please make sure students have their tickets with them on Friday.

The students did really well on the math test last week. The average score in both classes was 89%. Students will bring home their tests on Tuesday.
We have begun our work on Module 2. In this Module students will work on our measurement standards.
MAFS.4.MD.1.1 Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit.
During this unit we will learn about the metric and customary systems of measurements. Students are expected to know what units would be the appropriate choice in given situations. For example would you use grams or kilograms to measure the mass of a strawberry? Would you use millimeters, centimeters, meters or kilometers to measure the length of a hallway?Students will also learn to convert units. In fourth grade students will only have to convert in system at a time and larger units to smaller units. Students will not have to learn how to convert metric units to customary units.
Last week we learned about metric units for length. This week we will learn about metric units for mass and capacity. Students will have a quiz on metric units on this Thursday. We will then begin customary units.
Students did even better on their science tests last week!! The average score for both classes was 90%. Our new unit will focus on matter. This week we will learn about properties of matter. The properties of matter are those characteristics that help us to identify different types of matter. Things like color, shape, texture, hardness, state of matter, mass, volume, and attraction to magnets are all properties that helps us to identify one type of matter from another.
*i-Ready Weeks- the week runs from Friday afternoon until Friday mornings. Students may complete their i-Ready during the weekend.
*Teacher Checks-When I check i-Ready minutes I can customize the view. I always set it beginning the Friday of the previous week as the beginning day and Friday of the current week for the ending day.
*Grades-Grades for i-Ready are calculated with the following scale:
45 minutes-100%
40-44 minutes-90%
30-39 minutes-80%
20-29 minutes-70%
10-19 minutes-60%
10-0 minutes 0%
The grade is entered as a homework grade for that week.
This week in Genius Hour students will begin researching their projects. On Friday your child can show their Word document with the websites and pictures they have collected so far.
Have a GREAT Week!!
