Halloween Homework Week
Fri. October 23 – Thurs. Oct. 29, 2009
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 Returned” with a parent’s signature. Students receiving below a 75% on any test have the opportunity to make corrections on errors made on the test (on a separate piece of paper) 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 on any test. However, if corrections are not turned in the following week, then the original grade issued will remain. Parents can check the homework folders weekly to review student work or login at http://www.gradelink.com/ to review part of each student’s grade. Progress Reports were due back school signed with parent’s signature today. Please turn them in on Monday or students will be given sentences and sent to study hall.
Thank you to all the parents that came to the Parent Education Night last night. I hope the information was helpful and we can continue to create an environment in which the student’s school and home support each other. Also, please remember to turn in any Math-A-Thon pledge money to me as soon as possible.
We will begin an estimation math project next week. Each student is asked to bring in a pumpkin for our “Pumpkin Math” project on Monday morning. Please write the student’s name in black marker on the bottom of the pumpkin. While the smallest pumpkin is fine, please do not bring a pumpkin in that is too large to fit on a student’s desk or too heavy for a fourth grade student to carry.
Please refer to the following homework schedule. Thank you for those that volunteered to help with the Math-A-Thon and Halloween Party. Have a great week, and thank you for choosing OLA School.
Please feel free to contact me through the school office (881-2416) or through my email @ yschemenauer.ourladyofassumption.ocs@sbdiocese.org

4th Grade Homework Sheet
Dear Students and Parents,
School is closed Monday due to a Teacher In-service. Homework folders are due to class on Thursday. Students can pick from the spelling and vocabulary assignments list which assignment they want to complete. There should be a total of three vocabulary and three spelling assignments completed this week. (For Group B) I give students the packets on Friday so that they can complete multiple nights worth of homework at their own pace and maybe even use the weekend if their schedule during the week is full. Please note that students should spend some daily time reading an AR book to help improve their reading comprehension skills. During the fourth grade year students need to be able to identify the main idea and understand what the main points of whatever they are reading. Please note the “Book In A Can” project guideline sheet that is included in this homework folder. Students need to bring a minimum 50 page fiction book to school on Tuesday for the book check.
Progress Reports will be sent home on Tuesday. Please note that these are not report cards! They are merely a glimpse at the student’s progress up to this point in the trimester. The best way to help your student improve is to please help them complete all of the daily and weekly homework regularly. Also students may make any corrections to tests that are below 75% in homework folders and return them to school by the following Tuesday to receive a 75%. These small steps can make a big difference in a student’s academic performance which will greatly assist their grades. Also note that the grading scale is given by the Diocese and it is more challenging than the standard grading scale used by many public schools. Please be positive about your student’s strengths and areas for growth and use this progress report to encourage your student to grow and improve in the weeks to come. Have a blessed week. Please feel free to contact me through the school office (881-2416) or through my email @ yschemenauer.ourladyofassumption.ocs@sbdiocese.org! Parent Education Night for Grades 3-5 will be held in the 4th grade classroom on Thursday, October 22, 2009 at 6pm sharp! Hope to see you all there!

4th Grade Homework Sheet
Dear Students and Parents,
The ITBS testing concluded on Friday. The results of these tests will be discussed at parent/teacher conferences in November.
Next week 4th grade will participate in the Great CA Shake Out to focus on earthquake preparedness and safety. These activities correlate both with our California history studies and science. While discussing California’s many landforms last week students realized that earthquakes can change the landforms in California. Students watched a science video explaining earthquakes in great detail. So we are going to have a special project on Thursday in which students will work on building designs. If each student can please bring a cardboard gift box( top & bottom) (shirt sized) to class before or on Thursday we will be able to work on the project in class. Justin Son has volunteered to bring a large collection of marbles, and I need more volunteers to bring 6 bags of gumdrops and 6 boxes of toothpicks. Please let me know if you can provide any of these necessary materials through an email ASAP! It will be a great way to learn about earthquake safe structures as well as engage the students in a hands-on activity.
The Math-A-Thon will be on Friday, October 16th next week so please send in your signed pledge sheets then. This is a great fundraiser so please encourage your student to raise as much as possible. (This money can be used toward your own personal assessment fee.)
Thank you for all of your continued support and help. It is wonderful to have you, the primary educators of your children, involved in these educational endeavors!

ITBS Testing Continues...
Fourth Grade students will continue testing in the morning everyday this week. If students are absent due to illness they are excused from these tests, however they will not have the opportunity to make up any tests missed.
Students absent from school due to illness this week can use their Social Studies CD ROM given out at the parent meeting on September 30,2009 to complete Lessons 1-4 in Chapter One. ( 4th graders are working on these lessons in the afternoon everyday this week in class.)
Thank you so much for making every effort to have students arrive to school on time with plenty of rest, and a well balanced breakfast! Fourth Grade Rocks!!!
ITBS Testing

4th Grade Homework Sheet
Dear Students and Parents,
Thank you to all parents that attended the information meeting on Wednesday in 4th grade. The meeting was informative and I hope the clarification given will be helpful to understand the expectations throughout the school year.
Next week is ITBS(Iowa)testing. There is no weekly homework scheduled. However, I have spoken with students about getting to bed early, having a good nutritious breakfast before school, and arriving to school on time. Please remember that school starts at 7:55am everyday. A good goal is to aim for having students arrive at 7:45 next week so that if for any reason it actually takes longer (traffic, unexpected delays, etc.) students will still be on time for these important tests. These tests will be used to understand each student’s strengths and weaknesses and results will be discussed at parent/teacher conferences in November. **(If you haven’t done so already, please send an extra large t-shirt for students to keep at school for art projects throughout the year.)
Please note that Math-A-Thon pledge sheets went home in tuition envelopes. Students should begin getting pledges (sponsors) for our Math-A-Thon fundraiser. The money earned will count for trimester assessment fees if applicable.
Have a great week and thank you for choosing OLA School. Please feel free to contact me through the school office (881-2416) or through my email @ yschemenauer.ourladyofassumption.ocs@sbdiocese.org
