Mr. Sassman's 4th Grade Class Blog

Ten days until school is out! WHAT! How did that happen? Oh, and we leave for Twin Bears Wednesday morning! Mrs. Hammer made a special trip out this weekend to check on things for us and whoa! This year is going to be a bit different from years past. Let's hope this week brings some serious snowmelt. We may even have to adjust our initial hike from Angel Rocks to Granite Tors...Either way, it will be epic and please make sure your kiddos have good boots/plenty of layers. Lastly, please send your student in with their gear on Tuesday so we can label and check them out.

***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 week (before Twin Bears)?

***Please note if this applies to your kiddo: This is the last week of after school Book Club...Thanks

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 17).

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.
