Mr. Sassman's 4th Grade Class Blog
Halloween Carnival was a huge success and a great time was had by all! Thank you for to everyone who participated, showed up, helped out, and/or enjoyed the festivities!
Parent/Teacher Conferences are Monday and Tuesday this week, and I look forward to meeting with you. If you have any questions about your scheduled appointment, call or email me.
I would love to carve pumpkins this Friday at school, so if you could send your child in with a pumpkin (or drop one off), that would be great. Extras are also welcome, as we could always use the additional supplies for these types of activities. This will only work if we have enough. Students will be able to bring them home to enjoy afterwards. Feel free to come by and help! Please let me know if you can make it.
This Friday, October, 31, 2014, there will be a Halloween costume contest in school, and like other years, students should be prepared to be in school/class all day. Face covering masks or full make-up costumes are prohibited during school hours, per school policy.
One more note about Friday. The students have filled their "Marble Jar," earned a class celebration, and voted on an Electronics Party. For one hour, Friday afternoon, the students will be allowed to play games on their electronic device from home. This will be the ONLY time allotted for this activity and it will be monitored. The students will not be allowed to access the internet on their device as the school has blocks on personal devices. It is my understanding that the game Minecraft, is the major attraction! We can talk more about this tomorrow and Tuesday if you have any questions, concerns, or comments.
