A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade

It’s hard to believe the year is ending so soon! Your child brought home their Friday folder on Friday. There is no need to return it to school. The students don’t need to bring the accordion on Tuesday either. They’ll just need a bag to bring everything home in and their yearbook.

Here is what we’ll be doing the last 2 ½ days of school:
Tuesday, May 28th - Graduation Practice & Clean the Room

Our schedule for the day includes: Practice graduation in the morning then cleaning the room. All classroom supplies will come home this day so please send your child to school with either an empty backpack or an extra bag. After lunch we’ll meet as a whole fifth grade for yearbook signing. We’ll also be sending report cards home this day.

Wednesday, May 19th – (Graduation & Field Days)
9:00- 9:45- Graduation practice
10:00 - Gym open for parents
Graduation: 10:30 – approx. 11:30 (Please help to put away chairs after the ceremony).
(Graduation Dress: *** In years past we have told the kids to dress nicely, yet comfortably for graduation. It is not necessarily a formal event unless you, and they, want to really dress up.)

Picnic and cake with family: 11:45(ish) – 12:30(ish)
After graduation, fifth graders and their families enjoy a picnic lunch and cake. Please bring a picnic lunch. Whether you are able to stay or not, students need a lunch to eat outside with the other 5th graders.

Field day: 1:15 – end of day! (If you plan to stay for the afternoon, please sign in at the office).
** CHANGE CLOTHES*** Students should bring a change of clothes for field days.

Thursday, May 30th – Goodbyes. Dismissal at 12:08. No Lunch


Thank you for a GREAT year! 5th Grade Team

A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade

If this is your first fifth grader at Zach, let me explain how graduation works. On Wednesday, May 29th at 10:30, we have a graduation ceremony in the gym. The doors open for seating at 10:00. The gym is usually quite full so I recommend you get here by 10:00 to get a seat. Although it is a special occasion, we don’t require students to dress up, just dress nice. After graduation, we all come out to the modulars for a picnic lunch. We’ll provide cake and lemonade, you just need to provide the picnic lunch. After the picnic, the kids go inside and change into shorts, t-shirts, and tennis shoes for Field Day which starts at 1:15.

The 17th Annual Zach Elementary Field Day will be on Wednesday, May 29th from 1:15-3:15 pm for kids in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade. Parents are welcome to come and watch, but Mr. U is looking for some volunteers. Volunteering would include helping set up, take down, and running an event. Set up will begin at 12:30pm for both days. If you are interested in helping out, please contact Mr. U at brentu@psdschools.org. The more volunteers we get, the more smoothly field day will run.

We finished our 6-word memoirs this week. You may see a video of our memoirs on our classroom blog.
