Mr. Sassman's 4th Grade Class Blog
I am going to keep this information here as we will be using our Google Drives often coming up
- You can access all of your student's digital assignments online and work at home if you would like. Just go to www.gmail.com and type in their email address and password. Then find the Google Menu (where you will find the Drive, Docs, and Slides) icon in the top right corner (it is a nine square grid next to their s-number). This is where they will make their Google Slides Presentation for their Biography Book Reports. It is as follows:
Username: s#@student.k12northstar.org (for example: s123456@student.k12northstar.org)
Password: s#g (for example: s123456g)
The PTA has asked teachers to post this message:
A call for volunteers for the reflective tape sew-on Tuesday, November 17th. Starting at the beginning of the day and continuing as long as needed. Volunteers for both sewing and collecting/returning gear. Contact: kstandlestrom@yahoo.com

For example, Monday 8-24-15, we had a special Pearl Creek Garden Tour at 10:20 am - 10:50 am, so English/Language Arts was moved to the afternoon.
If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please feel free to call or email me anytime to discuss things further. I hope you find this information helpful and useful.
