Newsletter, September 1

A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grad

Wow!  It’s been another great week.  The students took their beginning of the year Maps tests this week and did an outstanding job.  This group of students is amazing.  I am impressed by their work effort and their willingness to learn from their mistakes.  
Thank you to those parents that were able to make it to the Back to School night.  If you weren’t able to make it, I included a copy of the Fifth Grade Survival Packet in your child’s Friday folder.  There is also a copy of the information I covered on our class blog.
Just a reminder the Eco Week meeting is Thursday, September 14th from 6:00 – 7:00 in the cafeteria.  This is a very important meeting, so please plan to attend with your fifth grader.
    In last week’s Friday folder, your child received the “Eco Week Hikes” page.  Please be sure it is being filled out as your child completes an activity.  The students are doing a great job of keeping track of the sticks they are earning here at school.
Information about the clubs available to students this year may be found on the Zach Website.  Below you’ll find a note from Mrs. Sickels regarding art enrichment.
5th GRADE ART ENRICHMENT!
The Art Enrichment program at Zach is an additional learning opportunity for students interested in the visual arts.  Projects may include individual as well as group work, and include a variety of mediums and techniques.  This is a great opportunity for your child to further explore the artistic process!
Dates for 5th Grade Art Enrichment: (7:45-8:40a.m. Tuesday mornings)
October 24, 31, November 7, 14, 28 (No session on the 21st due to Fall Break)
Art Enrichment sign up will be handled online this year through our new School Pay process.  Please refer to the School Club Information on page 9 of the August/September Newsletter and sign up for Art Enrichment using the link through School Pay.  If you do not currently have a School Pay account, sign up information can be found on page 10 of the Newsletter.  Please note that the registration deadline is September 6th.
For additional information or questions, please contact Angie Sickels asickels@psdschools.org
Thank you to all the parents who said they were available to volunteer this year.  If you’d like to volunteer but haven’t signed up, please visit our online form at https://tinyurl.com/zach5vol.  I will contact those who volunteered for Friday Folders, clerical work, and Eco week shirts by Friday next week.
