Mr. Sassman's 4th Grade Class Blog
We are finally done with testing this year and Mrs. Coffeen is back! As we approach the end of the year, we still have a lot to get done. With a little over four weeks left, the kids will be plugging away with their To Do Lists, with a couple of mini-projects sprinkled on top.
A BIG THANK YOU for attending our Twin Bears Volunteer Meeting. We had an amazing turnout and this year is going to be one for the books! I just love this trip and time of year.
***REMINDER: Please keep saving your "Clean recycling/trash" for us to bring and use at Twin Bears. Also, could send your kiddo in with a clean white t-shirt sometime in the next few weeks (before Twin Bears)? Mrs. Hammer and I decided we are going to do Indigo Dying with the kids at camp...so thanks.
***Please note if this applies to your kiddo: After school Book Club is now on Tuesdays...Thanks

I have posted a picture of our TDL down below...Today there is the spring band concert at school (1:00 PM), and tonight at 7:00 PM again. Right after, we will be erupting our volcano models and performing skits (Roving Reporters) that the kids made with their group about the event. Locations: Various places on the Pacific Rim!
Tomorrow we have our field trip to the Morris Thompson Cultural Center and the Rabinowitz Courthouse downtown. Feel free to join or pop by if you are able.

IN-CLASS ASSIGNMENTS - QUIZZES - TESTS
With a little over six weeks left of school, and about five weeks left of academic campaigns, I have made our final TDL (To Do List). Assignments are due on or before May 8, 2018. We have field trips and other agenda items the last week of school (May 9 - May 16)
HOMEROOM HOMEWORK
--None
MATH HOMEWORK DUE THIS WEEK (only if your child is in my math class)
We have finished our curriculum-based workbook for the year. No math homework this week. We have started our new workbooks and I will send them home with the kids at the end of the school year for them to use and practice with over the summer.
***Please note that Math, Specials, Lunch, and Recess are Intermediate schedules and stay in blocks. At times, curriculum, instruction, and homework may be adjusted to accommodate different initiatives.
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.
