Learning Continues with Narrative Writing, Native Tribes Books, Scholastic Reading Book Challenge & Multi Digit Multiplication using Rounding in Estimation!!

Fri. November 5 – Thurs. Nov. 11, 2010


4th Grade Homework Sheet


Dear Students and Parents,
The homework sheet is different this week due to our half day today, and our field trip scheduled for Thursday, November 11, 2010. All students in 4th grade desperately need to study their multiplication tables. I have chosen to use this week to ask that the majority of their homework time be spent studying all tables 1-12! Please work with your child at least 20 minutes each day quizzing them and studying these tables.
Students will not be completing vocabulary and spelling work this week since we will go to the Mission San Juan Capistrano field trip on Thursday, November 11th and today’s noon dismissal. Instead, students are working on a creative writing project about a Thanksgiving turkey. Please encourage your student to write legibly and use correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar throughout the story. These stories should have a story map and be done according to the narrative writing procedure we have been working on in class.
Please remember to arrive to school on Thursday early at 7:15 am so we can leave for the mission on time. We should return to OLA around 2:45pm depending on traffic. Again, students need to wear uniforms or their OLA polo shirts and jeans. Also, remember to bring a packed lunch and water bottle. Any students that have not turned in the past due permission slips and money should bring them in on Monday. Please feel free to contact me through my email @ yschemenauer.ourladyofassumption.ocs@sbdiocese.org or by sending a note to school with your child.
