Mr. Sassman's 6th Grade Class Blog
Woodriver Elementary School
If you haven't already recognized, winter is here. This week the temperatures should reach as low as -21 on some days and warm up to a nice -9 on most! Please make sure your kiddo has the proper outside gear. Last week the kids made neck gators for them to keep and wear in the frigid temperatures.
Early out this week...Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the kids will be dismissed at 2 PM. Please make arrangements. Thanks.
If you haven't already, please send in $6 with your child for our visit to the Hap Ryder Riverfront Theater two weeks ago. We saw the play Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I am still waiting on about 9 kids to bring in money. We have other field trips planned for the spring and if our class account goes in the red, we cannot afford to take them. Please let me know if there are extenuating circumstances and I will be more than happy to make other arrangements, no questions asked. Thanks.
Last week, I sent home another letter and sign up sheet on Friday about the annual 6th grade "Family Traditions Feast." On Wednesday, December 19th, 2018, all three sixth grade classes will host a family traditions feast from 11 - 12 pm in the MPR. The purpose is to recognize and celebrate students' cultures and family traditions. We ask that every student brings one specific food item. The food should be enough to feed 6-8 people. Ideally, the students will make the items at home and parents will help as needed. The students should write a half-page summary of the item's history and they will present this in class.
One week until winter break and we have some work to get through. Most, if not all students should be done with their TDLs and Google Slides Presentations. If not, perhaps they may be able to this week. We will be working on winter haikus, origami wreaths, and superhero fictional narratives.
