Homework This Week....

Fri. February 25 – Thurs. March 3, 2011


4th Grade Homework Sheet

Dear Students and Parents,

First of all, any corrections for this week need to be turned in on Monday, February 28th to be included for the report cards going home next Friday. The fabulous fourth grade students have worked quite hard this past trimester and I hope they will give a strong effort to finish well!
We continue reading Trumpet of the Swans. The students continue working on improving reading comprehension skills while reading this story. There will not be any OCR vocabulary assignments this week,but students are expected to study the twelve Trumpet of the Swans' vocabulary words for Monday's test. We have been going over these words in class and the students should do well if they review the list and memorize the meanings.
Next, please save the date: May 5, 2011! AT 1:00 and 6:00 pm the fabulous fourth grade will perform “Character Matters” at the PTG Shows here with Super Smart Second Grade at OLA. Students have been assigned parts. Enclosed in this homework packet is a CD with the songs for students to practice daily so the words can be memorized. I am still waiting for parent volunteers that are willing to help sew costumes or work on set production. Please send in a note with your child or email me letting me know if you can help out with either costumes or set design. I would really appreciate a few parent volunteers and any work you do from home could count toward your parent volunteer hours. More information will follow in the weeks to come, but just know it will be a FABULOUS performance and you really won’t want to miss it!
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. If they haven’t read and tested on 3 books yet, they are behind and need to spend more time in daily reading. THIS MUST BE DONE BY MONDAY TO RECEIVE THE BEST READING GRADE ON THE 2nd Trimester Report Card!!!
Have a great week and please feel free to contact me by sending a note with your child or through my diocesan email: yschmenauer@sbdiocese.org.
