Mr. Sassman's 4th Grade Class Blog

RE-CAP from last week!
Stringman was exciting last week and the students were buzzing around with their new skills and simple devices last week. Our visit to the Alaska Room was engaging and educational. The students will bring home their artifacts soon! Baked bread for the King Arthur Bake For Good is due back tomorrow so please send your child in with their loaf or kit. We unfortunately had to reschedule with our Art Specialist last week, as she had the flu! Thanks to Mrs. Moore, for not bringing the germs here, and I am glad I got the flu shot last month! I hope you like Class Dojo so far. I certainly encourage friendly feedback: comments, questions, concerns!
This week!
I am concerned with the amount of outstanding work/homework from the class as a whole. I will be making an assignment chart this week to address this, but please look on PowerSchool. All received work has been graded and added to the grade book so it is up to date. I would also encourage students to redo assignments if they have received low grades on previous attempts. I will average the two...every bit makes a difference. In addition, several assignments span multiple subjects (i.e. NatGeo, TFK, States Reports), so it is imperative that homework/classwork be completed.
We are starting Phase 3 of the States Reports! This will consist of the students making a poster board of the information form their reports. We will then showcase them Tuesday, November 25, 2014 here at Pearl Creek during our culminating Potluck! Phase 1 and 2 of the States Reports have been graded (from those I have received). The students will get grades for Reading, Writing, Social Studies, and Art. I have made extensive notes back to the students during the process and on their final summaries.

For the culmination of our States Projects, we will have a POTLUCK here at Pearl Creek for Mrs. Hammer's Class and Mr. Sassman's class. We would like it if all students and parents participated in the event. I will send more information home with your student as we get closer to the event, but please mark your calendars.
Friday, December 5, 2014 (AM)
The Nutcracker - Herring Auditorium Lathrop High School time.
If you are interested in attending or helping out as a chaperone on a field trip, you must be cleared with the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District...see me for a packet.
It's a good life!
Mr. Sassman
