Fabulous fourth grade has worked so hard lately!!
The students have finished their Risks & Consequences unit, created building coded structures for earthquake safety out of gumdrops and toothpicks, and written an extensive paragraph explaining the church Liturgical Year. (yes- all in one week)
So since there is no school tomorrow.....homework folders will go home on
Monday when the students return. Be safe this weekend and remember all the good tips Officer Hernandez shared with the class! Thank you Officer Hernandez for your great presentation and the Zometa family for the Halloween happenings! I appreciate all the donations from families and I am truly grateful for all of the continued support of our classroom!
FOURTH GRADE ROCKS! (rocks....rocks.....rocks)

Homework through Halloween...10/22-10/28 BOO!
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 75% (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 and/or login at www.gradelink.com to review part of each student’s grade.
Parent Education Night will be on Tuesday starting promptly at 6pm. I hope the information shared is helpful and we can continue to create an environment in which the student’s school and home support each other. The parent education night is an overview of ways to help your student do well, but it is not a scheduled individual conference in which individual student achievement will be discussed.
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. Our room mom, Ms. Zometa has donated a pumpkin for each student to begin working with on Monday for “Pumpkin Math”. Red Ribbon week starts on Monday and students may participate in the daily dress-ups days or wear their standard uniform to school. Please discuss with your child the importance of living a life free of drugs! There is no school next Friday due to a teacher in-service.
Finally, please note the letter from our Room Mom regarding our plans for Halloween fun on Thursday.
Have a great week, and thank you for choosing OLA School.
Please feel free to contact me through my email @ yschemenauer.ourladyofassumption.ocs@sbdiocese.org

4th Grade Homework Sheet
Dear Students and Parents,
The ITBS testing concluded this past week. The results of these tests will be discussed at parent/teacher conferences in November. The 4th grade students worked so hard this past week and followed all directions accurately. I am very proud of the effort and attention they gave in class this past week! BRAVO FOURTH GRADE!
The Math-A-Thon will be on Friday, October 15th 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.) Regardless if students are collecting pledges, all students will take the test for part of their math grade.
I am also so proud of the hard work on the California Site projects. Many students asked questions in class throughout the week and became active learners in this endeavor. 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 activities! The students were able to learn so much about many of the wonderful sites across California without even leaving the classroom.

We will be testing in the mornings and students arriving late, after the tests begin, will not be admitted to the classroom. Please try to have a regular, early bedtime for students and send a nutritious snack for our morning break at 10:15. Thank you for your help!
Please save the date….Thursday, November 11, 2010 will be the 4th grade field trip to Mission San Juan Capistrano. More information will come in the following weeks, but please save the date and let me know if you are interested in chaperoning this event by email or sending a note with your child. This field trip cost includes splitting the transportation fee for a bus so please take into consideration that if you are chaperoning you will need to pay for yourself and your student.**Save the date and more information will be sent home soon.
Any tests receiving a score below 75% may be made up using Grade First Aid.
