What's Happening at JJIS:

Hotspots

Explore France

5th grade students in the Explore France HOT Spot had fun using modeling clay to demonstrate what they've learned about French culture, including popular foods, sports, and current events! Check out the tiara that was stolen from the Louvre museum!

All About Animals

Fourth graders in the All About Animals HOT Spot became animal experts! Each student researched a favorite animal and created an interactive poster or detailed drawing to share what they learned. Students explored habitats, diets, adaptations, and fun facts. We are so proud of their creativity and hard work!
