Weekly Homework

Thurs. March 18 – Thursday March 25, 2010
4th Grade Homework Sheet
Dear Students and Parents,
Students did a great job on their Tall Tale Irish Potato Plots which they read orally to the class on St. Patrick’s Day. It was a lot of fun to help them go through the writing process and the published drafts are displayed on the 4th grade bulletin board.
Please note that the homework folders are going home today since there is no school on Friday. However, students should bring their homework folders back and forth everyday next week. There is four days worth of homework since tonight will take the place of the regular Friday homework.
Students are receiving report cards today. These do not need to be returned to school. As we head into the final trimester I hope that students can make a strong effort to complete all assignments, spend more time studying before tests, and continue to grow and expand their skills. Students and I met in conferences today to discuss their areas of strengths and their areas for growth. They have a plan to improve in the final trimester and I hope they can actively share their ideas with you as you review and discuss their grades together. These grades are a reflection of the grades given throughout the term at www.gradelink.com. I am very impressed with the continued effort given in 4th grade. KEEP IT UP!
Also, in an effort to improve comprehension skills students have been working on comprehension questions and chapter summaries in class for The Trumpet of the Swans book. These notebooks will be due next Friday, March 26,2010. If students have been absent lately, or need more time to complete the work (than that which has been given over many weeks in class) then they need to work on finishing up any part of the notebook that is not complete. Please encourage your student to work on any incomplete work a little bit each night in the week to come. I look forward to collecting these notebooks next Friday and will return them to students when we return from Easter vacation.
The Spell-A-Thon is next Friday. Fill up those pledge sheets and study that list of 75 words over the next week. We are on the last list for our weekly spelling and I hope we can have lots of 100% certificates given out to the fabulous fourth grade students! Remember 100% of the money raised will count toward your 3rd quarter assessment fees!
Since we are at beginning of 3rd trimester many students need to re-stock their supplies for the classroom: glue sticks, sharpened pencils, erasers, paper, etc.
Have a great week! Please feel free to contact me by sending a note with your child or through my diocesan email: yschmenauer.ourladyoftheassumption.ocs@sbdiocese.org . The quickest and most efficient way to get in touch with me is through email because I can usually respond within 24 hours.
