4th Grade Homework Sheet
Dear Students and Parents,
The students did a great job with El Camino Real and the mission models were fabulous! Students answered many questions and the OLA greater school community learned a lot from the 4th grade docents! Thank you to all parents for taking an active role in supporting their learning.
We will begin reading Trumpet of the Swans on Monday, January 31, 2011. Each student needs a copy of the book for class. Please check the school library or local libraries for a copy of the book if you do not want to purchase it. The students will work on improving reading comprehension skills while reading this story and practice writing more effectively. Student’s grades can be checked by visiting www.gradelink.com regularly.
Next, enclosed in this homework folder are your students’ 2nd trimester star reading placements’ results for the tests they took to determine their Accelerated Reader (AR) reading level last week. Please review whether your student has increased their level since their first trimester assessment. Students need to be reading at a 4.5 GE at this point in the school year. Anything below that is below fourth grade reading level. If your student is below reading level the best way to help them improve is to increase daily reading time! An optimal amount of time for your student to read independently to help them increase their fluency and comprehension is 60 minutes per day. Remember, you are the primary educator of your child so if your student needs additional reading time with appropriate chapter books please make sure this is happening daily in your home. Reading is one of the truest academic subjects meaning you get out of it what you put into it! It is a fact that students that read the best are the students that often read the most. Students can use the classroom library, the OLA school library, and any books you have purchased them or may check out from a public library. Just use the Accelerated Reader link at www.olabruins.com to check the book to be sure it is in fact in their AR level.
Please turn in any pledge money for the Jog-A-Thon to class so that it can be counted toward your 2nd trimester assessment fees. Thank you for your participation!!
Also, please check the homework folders for any tests in which students have scored below 75%. Students may make corrections on a separate sheet of paper for tests only. Again, since we are in the middle of 2nd trimester many students need to re-stock their supplies for the classroom: glue sticks, sharpened pencils, erasers, paper, etc. Have a great week and please feel free to contact me by sending a note with your child or through my diocesan email: yschmenauer.ourladyoftheassumption.ocs@sbdiocese.org .
