Mr. Sassman's 4th Grade Class Blog
Happy New Year!!!
Welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful break, filled up on food, slept, read, traveled, and had good times with friends and family. I sure did all of the above!!! I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone for their generosity before the break. I loved everything from the candy, cookies, hot cocoa mix and artisan marshmallows, to the science rocks, fossils, gloves, and plants for the room! I also made several trips to Gullivers to spend the gift cards on books for our classroom library. I feel so proud and lucky to have your children in my class!
