Jar Wars! March 13-17 to support Riley Children's Hospital
Students can bring change or bills to drop in one of three jars: Mrs. Kinch, Mrs. Kreitzer, or Mr. Hart. The jar with the most money at the end of the week will get it's owner duct taped to the wall! Who will it be???
Wax Museum Is Coming Up Soon!
April 21st is the date of the wax museum. Please start working on your child’s costume. I need the costumes at school no later than Thursday, April 14th. Please don’t spend lots of money on the costume. It is nice to shop at Goodwill and other thrift shops to find pieces that will make the costume special. Just get as close as you can to the look and time period of the character and be creative!
Reading
Reading Homework:
Read the story and answer the comprehension questions. Please note the directions stapled to the front of the passage. The kids need to underline their answers in the text to prove where their answer was found.
This IS worth 5 points toward their reading grade. Not returning the passage with questions answered receives a zero in the grade book.
Math
- telling time to 5 minutes using a digital and an analog clock
- am/ pm
