4th Grade Homework Sheet
Dear Students and Parents,
Thank you to the parent volunteers that drove to the field trip. Without parent volunteers many of our field trips would not be possible.
Please refer to the homework sheet and note the change in the number of assignments due to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Please have your child work on homework a little each day and review and sign each page of homework before they turn it in for credit.
Remember to have students get sponsors this week for next Friday’s Jog-A-Thon. This is a great opportunity for students to get some healthy exercise while raising money for our school. 100% of your Jog-A-Thon contributions can count toward your individual assessment fees for second trimester. Please return signed sponsor sheets so that every child can participate.
Enclosed is a copy of your child’s 2nd trimester Accelerated Reader Star Testing Result. Please review this sheet and encourage your child to read daily. If your child is still below the fourth grade reading level, please try to read with them everyday. Often times readers that read the best, often read the most. Please make sure your child is reading a book within their zone of proximal development. There are many books available in the OLA school library as well as our own 4th grade classroom library. To find AR books in their level use the AR book finder link on our school’s web site at www.olabruins.com. Having a parent model proper reading and spending time together in a book is one of the best methods for marked improvement.Progress Reports will be sent home with your child next Friday. These are not report cards, just a glimpse at the student’s progress at this point in the second trimester.
Finally, please be sure students have enough school supplies with them on a daily basis. 3 pencils sharpened daily will help keep distractions to a minimal and plenty of paper and index cards are always helpful!
It is a privilege to teach your children. You can always reach me at the school office 881-2416 or by contacting me at the following email address with any suggestions or questions:
