Valentine Homework.... WE LOVE IT!

Fri. February 11 – Thurs. February 17, 2011
4th Grade Homework Sheet

Dear Students and Parents,
We continue reading Trumpet of the Swans. The students continue working on improving reading comprehension skills while reading this story.
Please see the Valentine’s Day Information Sheet or check the fourth grade blog regarding our planned V-breakfast in fourth grade on Monday. Thanks for helping these hard working students have a little fun while also starting the day with a nutritious ready to eat breakfast.
Next, please save the date: May 5, 2011! AT 1:00 and 6:00 pm the fabulous fourth grade will perform at the PTG Shows here at OLA. Just save the date to have your student present. Also any friends, neighbors or family members are welcome to attend one or both performances. 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 2 books yet, they are behind and need to spend more time in daily reading.
Finally, 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. Report cards will be given out in March and the students need to give their best effort now to ensure they can receive the best grades to reflect all of their strong effort and skills. Student’s grades can be checked by visiting www.gradelink.com regularly.
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.
