Merry Christmas! Enjoy Christmas Vacation!!

Fri. December 18 – Tues.January 5, 2010
4th Grade Homework Sheet
Dear Students and Parents,
First of all, thank you to the parents that attended and assisted yesterday’s 4th grade Christmas party. There were lots of treats and all the students were able to create a beautiful Christmas scarf. Thank you also for all of the donations given for the on campus bake sale. Mrs. Cordova and Mrs. Kinnally spent recess and lunch selling all of the yummy treats! THANK YOU!
Next, there is no weekly homework folder going home today. They will be given out when students return to school on Tuesday, January 5th. However, there are a few academic endeavors students can work on over the Christmas break. All students should be reading an Accelerated Reader book over the break and be ready to take an AR comprehension test when they return to school. Also, there is a bonus point art contest that students can work on if they choose. Please see the attached guideline sheet for the Art Contest and follow directions carefully. Students bringing in their completed project after the break will receive bonus points. In addition to this art contest, attached is the guideline sheet for the California Mission Model project that students can work on in January. This is a creative project that will be due on January 19th. I am only enclosing it now to provide those of you that may want to get an early start on it the appropriate information. Each year the 4th grade students present their projects to the entire school in January and it is a lot of fun.
Finally, have a Blessed Christmas. I am looking forward to a great 2010 with the fourth grade class. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Sharing Christ Today, With The Leaders of Tomorrow!!!!!!!!!

Math Test Tomorrow

Students will take a test on multiplication tomorrow (12/15) in class. Students used their math period to prepare for tomorrow's test. Pg. 162 was completed as a study guide in class. Student's choosing to make corrections to this page and bring it tomorrow for the test will receive two bonus points on the exam. This is OPTIONAL and not a required assignment but a good incentive to put in some extra study time.

4th Grade Homework Sheet
Dear Students and Parents,
Please check the homework schedule for all assignments due on Thursday, December 17th. On that day the fourth grade class is hosting an on campus bake sale. Please participate by sending in one baked item to be sold and refer to the letter from our room mom Ms. Cordova. Contact her with any further questions or to sign up to work recess (10-10:30) or lunch (11:30-12:30). Later that afternoon, students will have their fourth grade classroom Christmas party at 1pm. Again, see the note from Ms. Cordova regarding the party specifications. On Monday, December 14th the final draft of the California Mission report is due in class. Please be sure to attach the entire report behind the final draft to receive points for all of the report. (Notes, Outline, Rough, Draft w/ final copy on top.)
This week students were assigned a student in the class to pray for during this Advent season. We will attend mass on Thursday and Friday in the coming final week of school before Christmas vacation. School will dismiss at noon on Friday. There is not any extended care on that day so please make transportation arrangements ahead of time. Homework Folders will be collected next week and not sent out until the Tuesday we return to school in January! Thanks so much! There is a permission slip for a field trip to the San Bernardino County Museum that we will attend the week we return from vacation. Please turn in the signed permission slip and fee at your earliest convenience. Thank you so much and have a Merry Christmas! See you in 2010!Please feel free to contact me by sending a note with your child to school or through my email @ yschemenauer.ourladyofassumption.ocs@sbdiocese.org

4th Grade Homework Sheet
Dear Students and Parents,
First, homework folders are due to class on
Thursday, December 10th. Please follow the schedule on the back side of this letter. We are back to a regular schedule and there are four nights of homework. Students will also begin the fourth week assignment for their mission report: the final draft. Please see the guideline sheet and rubric accompanied to the report for further information. (Final Draft is due Monday, December 14th)
Next, fourth grade will make a Christmas craft/gift next week. Each student needs to bring a wire hanger to class and one large package of plastic sandwich bags to class. (DO NOT SEND ZIPLOC BAGS PLEASE-THEY DO NOT WORK FOR THIS CRAFT) The cheap, open at the top plastic sandwich bags are required to complete our crafts. All other supplies will be provided in class. Thank you so much for having your students supplies to class by Monday, December 7th, 2009.
Also, students will attend mass on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary on Tuesday, December 8th at 8:15 in the morning. All parents are welcome to attend this mass since it is a Holy Day of Obligation for all Catholics. We are making regular mass attendance one of our biggest priorities this Advent Season. A big thank you to Ms. Cordova for providing the candles for the Advent Wreaths students brought home on Wednesday. A huge thank you to all the parents that drove to the Nutcracker Field Trip today! I am so grateful for all of the parent support in 4th grade.
Finally, please replenish student supplies for class on a regular basis. Many students need glue, paper, and daily paper on a regular basis and they are continually borrowing supplies from other students which can be burdensome. Please feel free to contact me by sending a note with your child to school or through my email @ yschemenauer.ourladyofassumption.ocs@sbdiocese.org
