5th graders have been learning about music composers this past month. Our final day, we transformed the music room into a graveyard and students had to navigate around the composer headstones finding the clues of each composer. First team finished with the most correct wins a prize!

November N.E.S.T. Day!

It’s been an exciting few days at JSE as our building has been patiently waiting for the chicks in third grade to hatch. 🐣 Mrs. LaCount even set up a video link and read aloud to celebrate this special time! Now that they’ve finally arrived, we are looking for families who want to take one…or four, home! Mrs. Havay has already adopted two. If you’re interested in adopting a chick or two, contact Mrs. LaCount! 🐥 🐥🐥

We had a special musical visit today! The Washburn Rural Middle School 7th grade band stopped by JSE as part of their tour and treated us to their fight song and several other familiar tunes.

Our 5th graders also had a chance to get an up close look at the instruments and explore which ones they might be interested in playing next year. What a fun way to build excitement for music at the next level!

Thank you, WRMS band and Ms. Casey, for sharing your talents with our Blue Jays! 🎶💙

The students and staff are loving story time 🐥

Let’s celebrate our latest Character Strong winners!

We spot some familiar faces! Thank you to the Auburn Washburn Foundation for supporting our JSE teachers and students!

🎃 Happy Halloween 🎃 from the Jay Shideler crew!! 🐠🐟🪼🦑🦞🦀🐬🐳🐋🦈
