AR Snowman Challenge ~ 1st & 2nd Grade Classes

Our first and second grade classes are having a challenge to see which class can read the most books and take AR tests to build a "Snowman".  Once a student has read a book and made an 80% or higher on the AR test, he/she is given a "snowball" to place on the snowman.  The student's name and book title are written on the snowball.  So far, these students have read over 300 books since Tuesday of this week.  Way to go students, and way to go teachers!  Keep up the good reading!!

JBE's Spelling Bee

JBE's January News...

Our second 9 weeks AR party was held on Friday, January 15 in the cafeteria. We had 75 students in first through fifth grade to meet their individualized AR goal and maintain an 85% average or higher for the 2nd 9 weeks. These students were treated with a special cake, and they also received a goody bag with Snowman Soup, a bookmark, a Pizza Hut gift certificate, and candy. All of the students were entered into a drawing for a Walmart gift card...we had 10 lucky winners of the gift cards. The students seemed to really enjoy the celebration. Please remember to encourage your students to participate in AR and try to achieve their goals for the third 9 weeks.

Welcome Back

As we begin a new year and the second semester of school, I want to take this opportunity to thank all parents, students, teachers, and staff for a great first semester. Our staff continues to work very hard to make sure all our students are successful academically.
Parents please help by supporting your child and your child's teacher. Without your support it will be difficult for your child to experience success at Jordye Bacon. I want to remind parents that report cards go home January 12th and January 18th is a school holiday. Feel free to visit our school at anytime. We look forward to working with you the rest of the school year.
