Hey parents,
I know it has been a while, and for that I do apologize. I just wanted to drop in and give a quick update. The kids are doing awesome! Today in reading we started our reading rotations with informational text being the highlight. In math we continued on our factor journey by learning about common factors. Some of the kids are forgetting their multiplication facts. Knowing those will make math SO much easier! So please encourage them to study!!!! And in social studies we are learning about our fight for freedom from the British! We are discussing and learning  A LOT!

Please continue to encourage your child. Historically this time of year is difficult with a long break on the horizon it makes working hard a little more difficult. But we only have a few weeks left in the 9 weeks. Any missing work should be turned in, a late grade is better than a zero! Parents check the grade book in Math we have two more big grades (summatives) and three more smaller grades (formatives). In reading and social studies we only have a few more grades to go!

Take care and as always please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns! autumn.schoenbeck@killeenisd.org

P.S. We just got a new website that is amazing for math. www.thinkthroughmath.com and the kids have their log in! This tool is math questions that are geared to individual levels. So it's a great practice for the kids!
