Happy Halloween

What a crazy first quarter this has been at KME.  I am so sorry I have been neglecting the blog.  Hopefully things will calm down and I will update more frequently.  

Report cards are in your child's Friday Folder.  Please take some time to look this over with your child.  Now is the time to set new goals for second quarter.  

MATH —

We have begun our third unit in Math—Multiple Towers and Division.  The students are currently working on two digit multiplication problems.  Please continue to practice multiplication facts at home as it will help your child greatly in the next coming weeks.  

SCIENCE — 

Next week we will look at weathering and erosion and how it changes the earth.  The kids can see many of these changes occurring right here near their homes.  If you happen to see some weathering or erosion going on as you are driving around Landen, take some time to point it out to your child. 

SOCIAL STUDIES

We looked at the different types of Ohio maps.  The students looked at population maps, precipitation maps, and resource maps.  It is important that they know how to read different types of maps and answer questions about them. We have the unit test scheduled on Wednesday.  Your child will be responsible for knowing all the information pertaining to this unit.  

READING —  

We are moving on to the reading strategy questioning.  In this strategy, students need to ask questions as they read.  As they do this, they begin to look for answers and ultimately become engaged in the text  We are beginning new novels on Monday.  Be sure to ask your child what they are reading.  

REVIEW SHEETS  - 

Due to Beggars Night, we have only handed out Reading and Social Studies homework this week.  They will be due on their normal day - Wednesday.
