Welcome to November! Happy All Saints Day to the Fabulous 4th Grade Saints!

Dear Students and Parents,

           Welcome to November! Happy All Saints Day to all my fabulous 4^th grade saints! Please note that the 4^th grade class will be hosting an on campus bake sale tomorrow. Please send in baked goods that are able to be sold in one serving sizes. Good examples of top sellers are donuts, cupcakes, sliced brownies or cookies. Principal Long asked the 4^th grade to take this Tuesday’s bake sale just last week, and we have agreed to sale these goods during recess and lunch. Any parent volunteers to work these break periods would be greatly appreciated. All proceeds from this sale go to the 8^th grade graduating class to help cover costs for graduation. This teaches our students to live out their Ambassador of Hope SLE and learn how to care for the needs of others.  If you are able to work either recess or lunch please contact me through my email @ yschemenauer.ourladyofassumption.ocs@sbdiocese.org

Please be sure to fill out the San Juan Capistrano permission slip and return the fees to class by Thursday, November 4, 2010. This is a wonderful field trip and the students enjoy it so much. Check the permission slip for all details and information.

Thank you to our parent/family volunteers for the Halloween party and treats. Thank you to Officer Hernandez for his great presentation on Risks and Consequences. It was a great way for students to ask questions and learn about how to make good choices. Math-A-Thon pledge money is due and students that have turned in their money can have free dress on Thursday. Also, please note that Friday is a noon dismissal and students need to wear full mass uniform since we will be attending Mass. Thank you for all of your support!

** Please note that the amount of time students should be reading has increased to 30 minutes per day. This should help them achieve their goal to read 10 AR books at their level in over a 5 week period. IF your student has not completed at least 5 books by today (11/1/10) then they may need to spend more time reading. All books read should be logged on the Scholastic Book Mark and kept in the front clear lining of their homework folders. (Student have been told this many times in class.)

Students are taking place in the Scholastic Reading Challenge.. This will help to bring books to underprivileged children in the United States. The book markers are to be turned in Thursday, November 11, 2010 with the titles of all books read. Students are to complete an AR comprehension test in class for each book and this will be a large percentage of their 1^st quarter reading grade.

Thank you for encouraging your student to give their best effort. 10 books are the goal for 100%! The comprehension scores received on these AR tests will be sent home in the weekly homework folders for your signature! **
