| TOWERS PART ONE |
WHAT A WEEK!!!
Thank you so much for attending parent-teacher conferences! Our class had a 96% rate of attendance and that is indicative of what a wonderful group of kiddos I have this year. Your ongoing and continued support is amazing and truly makes a difference in your student's education and future!
THANK YOU to all our parent and student volunteers this past Friday. The Halloween carnival was a fantastic time and our class raised almost $500 for field trips/class activities. The kiddos designed, produced, and ran the very first carnival obstacle course on the ramp, and we sold a good amount of grocery bag holders. We still have some left so keep that in mind for the approaching holiday season! We also have Casserole Cozzies made by Mrs. Kara Beck (great idea). Bags are $10 (think fundraiser) and Cozzies are $20 (they are awesome). We can also take orders by the way! Examples below!

Mr. and Mrs. Wagner
Mrs. Boyle
All the kiddos that stayed after school and during the carnival to run our fundraisers, all the families that donated their time and materials for grocery bag holders, and anyone else I may have missed...sorry if I have!
We capped off our week with pumpkin carving, roasting seeds, music, pizza, and games for our classroom party of Friday! This was much deserved!
I have registered the domain and started forwarding the class blog at www.puffinclassblog.com to make things a bit easier to follow. The blog will stay the same, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CHANGE ANYTHING. This is just another (shorter name) way to access the same page. The site address is also and still www.mrsassmansclass.blogspot.com, this is just an FYI.
