JBMA Halloween Parade
JBMA Halloween Parade is one of our annual
traditions where students have an opportunity to dress up as a character and
learn from each other. This year the Upper Elementary students are looking
forward to the Halloween Parade on Friday, October 30th.
Students are invited to dress up only as a
character from a book, a historical figure, or cultural representatives. We aim to keep Halloween light-hearted and
fun for everyone, and therefore will not allow weapons, blood, or anything
scary. Our costume parade brings all
ages together and we need to respect the needs of the younger children.
As it gets closer to the
event, a writing prompt about their character will be assigned to the students
which they will share with the class after the parade.

Layers of Earth Project
Continuing with our exploration of the Composition of the Earth, this month students researched and created a 3D model of the Earth depicting the several layers around. They used their imagination along with craft materials such as play dough, foam board, lego pieces and paint to shape their final product and present it to the class.

Grass Is Greener On Our Side
Our young thumbs got greener this week in garden
club! We continued the renovation started last time on our peace
garden. It just gets more beautiful! Additionally, we moved three
struggling blueberry bushes to a sunny new home, where hopefully they will
flourish! For those who are not in garden club, but may want to
participate in another way, we are accepting donations of plants, mulch, and
pea gravel! For more info about specific donations, contact Mr. Zech at zech@jbma.education!

Saturated Solutions
In science, students have
been mixing together ingredients to make different solutions. This past week they have been making
SATURATED solutions, first with salt, then citric acid. We added solid components one spoonful at a
time to 50 ml of water until a precipitant formed in the bottom of the
bottle. Students then filtered their
solution to remove any extra solids.
