Fourth Grade's Fabulous February Homework...

Fri. February 4 – Thurs. February 10, 2011
4th Grade Homework Sheet

Dear Students and Parents,
We began reading Trumpet of the Swans on Monday, January 31, 2011. 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.
This week we will continue to work on fractions in math. We will also begin working again on our maintenance math lessons by completing some Excel Math lessons. Students not finishing in class next week, will need to add the lesson to their homework time.
Students should continue to AR read daily. 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. The goal for February is for each student to read 4 books in their AR level before February 28 and score 80% or above on the comprehension test. We also have started taking vocabulary tests on each book read since an increased vocabulary often leads to improvement in comprehension skills.
We will not be attending a field trip next Friday. We will schedule another field trip in 3rd trimester. We need to use our class time to continue in our California Studies on the Gold Rush and learn about Magnetism in science with lots of hands-on activities.
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 .
