We kicked off The Great Kindness Challenge and transformed JFG into K.I.N.D Headquarters! Our JFG Cardinals were on a mission - start completing as many acts of kindness on the GKC checklist as they can! We have a week of missions ahead and we know they can do it!
Just a tiny example of what can happen when a school community sticks together! Challenges can only make us stronger! Looking forward to celebrating the best of 100 days and many more to come! #oneproudprincipal
Our 5th Graders learning all about the brain - our thinking brain, amygdala & hippocampus & how these all play a role in how we react & handle our big emotions. We used our hands to model how the parts work with each other & what happens if we "flip our lid."
JFG kindergarten students learn all about using coping skills to have healthy minds and bodies. Calm coloring always helps relax our minds!
Using fraction tiles to investigate equivalent fractions! These fraction detectives did a great job!
Every JFG staff member found a message on their windshield Friday afternoon. No matter what, everyday you place a smile on our children's faces and aim to make a difference. You make EVERYDAY count! Have an awesome weekend JFG!
JFG Grade 4 learning about prime and composite numbers today!
Thank you to the Township of Washington Police Department for joining the JFG Winterfest! Your presence and interaction with our students and families was greatly appreciated!
JFG Winterfest was a success! Our school community enjoyed the outdoors in the company some special guests! Thank you to our PSO and JFG families for putting such a wonderful event together. It was nice to see our families experiencing fun and laughter on our blacktop!
JFG 5th Graders talked about Goals- why it's important & how it needs to be specific, realistic & have a plan. The 5th graders wrote their own goals & tried to bounce the ball into the cup with their goal. We learned to not give up & switch up our strategy.
JFG 4th graders are hard at work tackling division problems by using drawings, place value sharing, and partial quotients!
JFG students enjoy arriving in the morning to see Mr. Miller! Thank you Mr. Miller for the trusted relationships you continue to build within our school community!
Mrs. Farinella has kicked off Unit 3 of The Great Body Shop! Our students learned the importance of nutrition!
