4th Grade Homework Sheet
Dear Students and Parents,
Happy Catholic Schools Week! The theme this year is
“A+ for America”- Please refer to the yellow sheet sent home last week for all the details. Remember, students not wanting to participate in the different theme days may continue to wear the appropriate OLA uniform throughout the week.
We will begin reading Trumpet of the Swans on Monday, January 31, 2011. Each student needs a copy of the book for class. Please check the school library or local libraries for a copy of the book if you do not want to purchase it. 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.
Also, next Friday (2/4/11) is our monthly school Mass in church. Students should wear full mass uniform. Parents are welcome to join us in this celebration at 8:15am sharp. School will dismiss at noon, so please have transportation arrangements made accordingly.
Remember, it is a fact that students that read the best are the students that often read the most. Students can use the classroom library, the OLA school library, and any books you have purchased them or may check out from a public library. 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.
Please turn in any pledge money for the Jog-A-Thon to class so that it can be counted toward your 2nd trimester assessment fees. Thank you for your participation!!
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 fabulous 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.

A wonderfully fabulous "El Camino Real"......all possible by "The Homework Road'! Great Work!!
Fri. January 21 – Thursday January 27, 2011
4th Grade Homework Sheet
Dear Students and Parents,
The students did a great job with El Camino Real and the mission models were fabulous! Students answered many questions and the OLA greater school community learned a lot from the 4th grade docents! Thank you to all parents for taking an active role in supporting their learning.
We will begin reading Trumpet of the Swans on Monday, January 31, 2011. Each student needs a copy of the book for class. Please check the school library or local libraries for a copy of the book if you do not want to purchase it. 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.
Next, enclosed in this homework folder are your students’ 2nd trimester star reading placements’ results for the tests they took to determine their Accelerated Reader (AR) reading level last week. Please review whether your student has increased their level since their first trimester assessment. Students need to be reading at a 4.5 GE at this point in the school year. Anything below that is below fourth grade reading level. If your student is below reading level the best way to help them improve is to increase daily reading time! An optimal amount of time for your student to read independently to help them increase their fluency and comprehension is 60 minutes per day. Remember, you are the primary educator of your child so if your student needs additional reading time with appropriate chapter books please make sure this is happening daily in your home. Reading is one of the truest academic subjects meaning you get out of it what you put into it! It is a fact that students that read the best are the students that often read the most. Students can use the classroom library, the OLA school library, and any books you have purchased them or may check out from a public library.

Fabulous Fourth Grade's..." Homework...Don't Leave School Without It!"
Fri. January 14 – Thursday January 20, 2011
4th Grade Homework Sheet
Dear Students and Parents,
Please remember there is no school on Monday in observance of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. Therefore, please note the three days worth of homework assignments. Students should complete one vocabulary and one spelling assignment each day. Refer to the schedule and please have homework folders organized by Thursday.
The students will do a great job with “El Camino Real” when they also turn in their Mission projects on Thursday, January 20, 2011. Students will answer many questions and the OLA greater school community can attend from 1:45-2:15pm in the fourth grade classroom! Please remember to bring your corrected mission report with you so you can each answer intelligent questions about your mission. Thank you for supporting active learning!
We will begin reading Trumpet of the Swans on Monday, January 31, 2011. Each student needs a copy of the book for class. Please check the school library or local libraries for a copy of the book if you do not want to purchase it. The students will work on reading comprehension skills while reading this story and practice their writing skills.
Student grades can also be checked by visiting www.gradelink.com regularly. Please remember the Jog-A-Thon is on Friday, January 21,2011 and bring your signed pledge sheet to class then so you can raise lots of money for your 2nd trimester assessment fees. Students have free dress that day so they can wear athletic clothes and shoes to be comfortable and “run like the wind”! Thank you for your participation!!
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. 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.
Finally, students have started to learn about electricity in Science. Please ask your student how electricity is important to their everyday life and remind them why it is important to conserve it whenever possible. Over the next few weeks we will continue to focus on the following CA state standards:
1.e Students know electrically charged objects attract or repel each other.
1.g Students know electrical energy can be converted into heat, light, and motion.
1.a Students know how to design and build simple parallel and series circuits by using components such as wires, batteries, and bulbs.
The students and I are excited to continue to use the scientific method and discover together everything we can about electricity.
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)
Please remember I do not have access to a school phone in the classroom but can check and respond to email regularly during the school day or on my own personal time at home. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Happy New Year! I am looking forward to a great 2011 with the fabulous fourth grade. Please check the homework schedule for all assignments due on Thursday, January 6. Mission Model Projects are not due to class until Thursday, January 20, 2011. Please do not send them in early since space in the classroom is limited.

If your student has not shown you this sheet please remind them to show it to you and to check their mailboxes daily in class. Projects may be worked on over the next three weeks and are not due to class until Thursday, January 20, 2011. These social studies projects will not be checked as part of the weekly homework this week, but are included in this sheet as a reminder of the project work that needs to be completed. (Maybe spend this week deciding on what type of supplies will be needed and organizing or planning a shopping trip to gather the supplies needed? Just get started!)
Next, Friday, January 7, 2011 is an all school mass so please wear Full Mass uniform. Parents are welcome to join us in church at 8:15 am sharp!

Finally, tutoring continues on Friday mornings from 7:25am-7:50am for invited students. This week we will focus on division/math. Please be prompt to tutorials as they are 30 minutes long and students arriving late can distract those already learning. Thank you for understanding!
