Global Play Day

Several classes at Jackson Avenue particpated in the Global Play Day today. Students learned about physics playing Suspend pictured to the left. Students made art and crafts, others played cards, and strategic games. There were lots of outside play options as well. Students learned about inviting friends to play, how to discover for themselves to learn how to play a board game. There are many benefits from being unplugged for a period of time.

Abilities Awareness Week

As part of our Abilities Awareness Week, we had Mateo Musso, student with Autism, speak with our students! We learned about how we all can make a difference in supporting and making friends with everyone. Join the "I KNOW" campaign. Visit Matteo Musso website to learn more about his journey.

Be a Stingray Star

Jackson Avenue's school-wide expectations are to Be Scholarly (I think about the choices I am making); Be Trustworthy (I make the same choice when an adult is looking and when they are not); Be Accepting (I am kind to the people around me); and Be Responsible (I know the school rules, I take care of the things around me, and I always do my best). We celebrate these expectations at our weekly Wednesday morning meetings before we go into the classroom. Students wear their Stingray Colors (yellow and black).
