Mr. Sassman's 6th Grade Class Blog
Woodriver Elementary School
Looks like we had some more snow over the weekend...We have a busy and full week ahead. With just about three weeks left in the quarter, TDL items are quickly becoming due. The kids took their winter MAP tests last week and I am happy to report that almost everyone has shown significant improvements in both math and reading from this point last year. If you are interested in more information, I can send home a letter and report with your kiddo. Just send me an email.
This week is also the winter band and orchestra concerts. They will be on Tuesday and Wednesday at 10 am and 2 pm here in the MPR.
We have a field trip this Friday, December 7, 2018. We will visit the Hap Ryder Riverfront theater to see Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. One of our own (a student in our class) is also performing in the show, so this is going to be great. Please send in $6 with your student so we may pay for transportation and general admission...thanks.
Speaking of fun things...our class has filled the marble jar and has voted on a "Free time and slime" party. This week, I will give the kids some free time to play and banter in the afternoon. I will also pick up materials for them to make slime, as this has rapidly become "a thing" in our class.
Lastly for now...I sent home a 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. Thanks.
