Crazy Few Weeks


Well it seems as if the past few weeks have been extra busy around KME and I don't see it letting up anytime soon.

Math -

We will investigate place value until Thanksgiving Break.  We are currently looking at how to write and read large numbers.  The Common Core Standard requires students to be able to write and read numbers up to the millions. Feel free spend some time at home working on this skill.  You could play a game with dice or cards to see who can write and read the largest number.

Science -

We are finishing up our Earth Changing Processes Unit.  The students will have a test over this unit on Thursday.  They will need to know all the material in this section of their binder.  We will be making a review booklet on the next few days to help your child study.

Social Studies -

The study of Ohio's Government is our next unit in Social Studies.  The kids will look at each of the branches of government and their responsibilities.

Reading -

Gordon Korman is our new hero !!  We love this author. The kids complain each time our reading session is finished.  They just can't wait to read more.  How cool is that?

Each group is reading book one of a fantastic series.  Your child will be reading either  Island - Shipwreck or Everest - The Contest.  Be sure to ask them which one they are enjoying.

Looking for a Christmas gift?  The next two books in the series is always a good gift. Or think about buying one of his other series, each one is fantastic!

Enjoy the rest of the week.
