4th Grade Homework Sheet
Dear Students and Parents,
Enclosed in this homework folder is a week’s worth of work. Please review your student’s progress and return any work marked “Signed and Return” with a parent’s signature. Students receiving below a 75% on any test(TESTS ONLY) have the opportunity to make corrections on errors made on the test and return it to me by the following Tuesday. This applies to all subjects. For spelling tests, students are expected to write any misspelled word 5 times each in their neatest writing. These efforts will allow the students to receive a C grade (75%) on any test. However, if corrections are not turned in the following Tuesday, then the original grade issued will remain. Parents can check the homework folders weekly to review student work or login at www.gradelink.com to review part of each student’s grade.
The California Site Project (diorama & mini CD book) due date has been extended to Monday, September 28th. This extension was given after some feedback stating the need for more time and the idea that an extra weekend to work on the project might be helpful for some families. I am always open to comments and suggestions and hope that giving this extension will help all students to turn in their best work. The oral presentations for this project will begin on the same day, Monday, September 28, 2009.
Please refer to the following homework schedule Have a great week and thank you for choosing OLA School.
