May 6, 2016 ROBERTSON / BECHTEL NEWS Mrs. Robertson Math / Science [email protected] http://wordpress.kenstonlocal.org/robertson/ Mrs. Bechtel ELA / Social Studies [email protected] http://wordpress.kenstonlocal.org/bechtel/ In Math this week, we learned that “King Henry Doesn’t Usually Drink Chocolate Milk”. This created an acronym (K.H.D.U.D.C.M.) that we used to convert metric units. ​
We will have our Topic 12­13 Test on Monday, May 9.​
Over the weekend, students need to complete the practice tests on text pages 326­327 (NOT #5­7) and pages 348­349 to prepare for their test. When they have finished, they need to check their answers on my webpage. If they miss any, they need to look back into the lesson and correct what they missed. In Science this week, we learned about the parts of our Sun, a star’s life, and how stars are grouped together. We created a “Constellation Chart” and a “Star Finder Wheel”. We also took our Chapter 16 test. Next week, we will move on to study “Earth and Space”. We will review Earth’s motions and what makes up our Solar System. This week in Integrated Language Arts, we completed Wordly Wise Lesson 18.. Students will be taking Wordly Wise Lesson 18 test on ​

We have completed our Maturation Unit. Please check with your child to see if they have questions. We will be visiting KMS next week. A KMS lunch menu was sent home today in your child’s Friday Folder. They are able to use their lunch code over there if they have money in their account, or, if they would like to buy that day, you may just send them with money. They may also pack that day and take their lunch with them. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for recess. Also, our Student Handbook states that students should not be wearing shorts unless the weather is projected to be at least 70 degrees. Please make sure your child is following our policy.
