4th Grade ROCKS! Rocks! rocks!

Dear Students and Parents,

Thank you for participating this week in helping the people of Japan spiritually through Mass attendance and physically through your donations. Fourth Grade is full of Ambassadors of Hope and Active Catholics!
PTG costumes are due to school April 18,2011. I hope the note sent home earlier this week helped clarify the expectations for what is required. Thank you for all of your help.
Students are enjoying the 4th grade website. We have discussed that they should have parent permission and supervision whenever having access to the internet. Thanks so much for helping your student adapt to the changes in technology while having a fun time learning. Next week we will be able to gain information and use some interactive links to complete future homework assignment options. It is very exciting! Check us out at www.fabulous4th.weebly.com.
Lastly, 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 March is for each student to read 4 books in their AR level before March 31 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.
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.

Students should have at least two finished at this point in the month to pace themselves. (If not, spend some extra time reading over the weekend.)
