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.

Also, we have finished up our medicine unit in our Open Court Reader book and are moving on to the theme of Survival. Since we already read Island of the Blue Dolphin as part of our natives study in social studies at the beginning of the year; we are skipping it now. Please refer to the new spelling/vocabulary packet for the weekly spelling and vocabulary lists.
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. All students are doing four spelling assignments this week. They need more practice writing sentences well and giving a strong effort. Their work this week on the President Essays has shown me that some students need more work on basic sentence writing and structure. 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: yschemenauer@sbdiocese.org.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR...
FABULOUS FOURTH GRADE'S VALENTINE BREAKFAST...
Dear Students and Parents,
The 4th grade students are looking forward to celebrating Valentine's Day on Monday, February 14, 2011 in the 4th grade classroom. We will celebrate by having our "party"first thing in the morning with a fourth grade breakfast. I have purchased the paper supplies and we will have breakfast in the classroom. Donated items should be on/in disposable plates or tins and ready to eat. We won't be cooking in the classroom, but instead make or prepare our breakfast foods at home and drop them off first thing Monday morning at 7:50 AM (Five minutes before school starts). Please feel free to follow the list below suggested by the fabulous fourth grade students or bring a nutritious addition appropriate for early morning eating.
Students can write Valentine Cards and sign each card before class, to be part of the Valentine card exchange. PLEASE DO NOT WRITE NAMES ON CARDS, but only sign your name at the end of the Valentine message. We completed Valentine Bags during our art lesson on Thursday to use for this traditional exchange. We have 19 students in fabulous fourth grade. Since we have been studying fractions: 7/19 of the class are boys and the rest are girls. Ask your fourth grade students to tell you what fraction of the remaining students are girls. (They should be able to tell you accurately since they have proved to be brilliant with fractions in class.)
The following students VOLUNTEERED to bring the following items to school on Monday for our breakfast:
Bailey- Syrup & Belgian Waffles
Priscilla- 2 gallons of Orange Juice
Ariana- Three gallons of non-fat milk
Isabelle- Boxed individual Cereal
Andrea- Bagels and Cream Cheese
Lanie- Bacon & Bacon "Dates" since it is Valentine's Day
Sean- Costco Blueberry Muffins
Katelyn- A sliced fruit tray
Alycia- English Muffins with Peanut Butter
The Fabulous Fourth Grade students came up with all of these wonderful ideas! Whatever we end up having will be fabulous!
Contact me through my email address if you have any questions or suggestions.
Happy Valentine's Day,
Mrs.Schemenauer

Fourth Grade's Fabulous February Homework...
Fri. February 4 – Thurs. February 10, 2011
4th Grade Homework Sheet
Dear Students and Parents,
We began reading Trumpet of the Swans on Monday, January 31, 2011. 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.
This week we will continue to work on fractions in math. We will also begin working again on our maintenance math lessons by completing some Excel Math lessons. Students not finishing in class next week, will need to add the lesson to their homework time.
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.
We will not be attending a field trip next Friday. We will schedule another field trip in 3rd trimester. We need to use our class time to continue in our California Studies on the Gold Rush and learn about Magnetism in science with lots of hands-on activities.
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 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 .
