Fabulous Fourth Grade Christmas Party 12/17/10

CHRISTMAS PARTY 2010


Dear Parents and Students,
Fabulous Fourth Grade will have their Christmas party on Friday, December 17, 2010 from 12:30-2:30 pm. This year the fourth grade students have an opportunity to create and decorate Gingerbread Houses in class during this time. The supplies for individual kits including the gingerbread, candy, frosting and materials can cost up to $20 per student. The students will create one each and bring them home on the final day of school for you to enjoy over Christmas vacation. Rather than asking for donations of cupcakes, treats, goodie bags, gifts, etc., we are asking for $10 per student to participate in this great classroom project. A demonstration will be given and students will be taught techniques on how to best assemble and decorate their own creations.
I am purchasing the supplies as a group and ask for you to send in $10 per student in cash or a check made out to Mrs. Schemenauer before December 17th. I am so excited for students at OLA to experience this great opportunity. I have done this project with 3rd grade students in the past and they had a terrific time. Please note again that you do not need to send in any donated food items or supplies on the final day of school as the money provided will cover all costs for the party. I hope the students can enjoy these scrumptious treats throughout the Christmas vacation instead of spending money for treats that would be eaten up in just one afternoon in class. If you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to contact me by sending in a note with your child or through my email address.
Merry Christmas,
Mrs. Schemenauer

December Homework...

Friday, December 3 – Thursday, December 9, 2010


4th Grade Homework Sheet

Dear Students and Parents,

First, homework folders are due to class on
Thursday, December 9th. 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 continue working on their rough draft for their mission report. Please see the guideline sheet and rubric accompanied to the report for further information.
Next, Fourth grade will make a Christmas craft/gift for their families next week. Each student needs to bring a wire hanger to class and two boxes 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 6th, 2010.
Also, students will attend mass on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary on Wednesday, 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.
Thank you to the parents that drove to the Nutcracker Field Trip on Thursday. Congratulations to Alycia and Isabel for being part of such a great performance and sharing their talents with us!
Finally, please replenish student supplies for class on a regular basis including having sharpened pencils daily. Many students need glue, staples, and daily paper on a regular basis. Some 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 .
