"Marching" on with 3rd Trimester Homework...

Fri. March 4 – Thurs. March 10, 2011
4th Grade Homework Sheet
Dear Students and Parents,
Report Cards are being sent home today. Please review these with your child and discuss their areas of strengths and areas for growth. The fabulous fourth grade students have done really well and should continue to work hard through this final trimester. The report cards do not need to be returned to school since we have already kept a copy for their records.
Also, please remember that Wednesday, March 9th is Ash Wednesday. Students need to be wearing full Mass uniform and be on time to school. We will attend Mass and need to be walking over to the church right when the bell rings at 7:55am. Tardy students will need to be escorted into the church by parents since all staff members will be attending this Mass. This will begin our Lenten journey and we want to start it off right!
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. Thank you to those parents that have already contacted me to help. 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!
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. Reading Logs were sent home this week and should be updated daily.
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.
