A Message from Mrs. Hankins
JSE Families and Friends,
We hope to see you Tuesday Night at our FREE Nature Night from 6-7pm! PTO is helping put on this free family event with local agencies sharing information and experiences about the nature of NW Indiana.
We are wrapping up our third quarter. As we go into this final quarter, our 3rd-5th graders will be completing their ILEARN testing April 15- May 10. We have a lot of great fun events coming up: Solar Eclipse, Fun Fair, UTSC Elementary Art Show, Young Authors, and more. But as we enjoy the spring weather and wonderful events, we will still be working on growing our brains and keeping up with our reading and math skills.
Big things are also coming for our youngest Bearcats. Please check out the Bearcat Beginnings Preschool flyer and Kindergarten Round Up information. Please share with those you know that have children in that age range as well. We look forward to growing!
Don't forget we are on Spring Break from March 25- April 1. We'll see you back to school on Tuesday, April 2nd!
Happy Spring!
Mrs. Hankins

2 Stanleys x 2 Stanleys= 4 Stanleys
I wonder how many ounces each of these would hold?
Circles and Spheres
Numbers, Shapes, angles
I wonder how many times you will jump on the number 6 if you play four times? I wonder how many quadrilaterals make up the hopscotch.

FREE Love and Logic Parenting Course starts April 8!
FREE Virtual Love & Logic Way course starts
Monday, April 8th!!
We all love our kids but wouldn't it be great to get a little help with the common parenting struggles we all face? Solutions for whining, back talk, chores, etc? Whether you are new to the course or coming back for a refresher, we would love to have you join us and add some more tools to your parental tool belt.
This course is FREE and VIRTUAL!! Each Monday, participants will be emailed a link with the course content for the week. Links will be live for the entire week allowing participants to watch any time during the week that works best. You can sign up by clicking the link.
Workbooks for the course are also FREE and will be dropped off at your child's school prior to the start of class to be sent home with your child. If you are joining us for a refresher or have taken the course before, the workbook is the same and you can use your previous one. You will be able to let us know if you need a workbook when you register for the course.
We look forward to seeing you in class! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Blessings,
The Our Greater Good Staff
