Newsletter, February 8th

A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade

Preston and Kinard visited with the students and gave them registration packets. Preston forms are due Friday, February 22nd. Kinard forms are due Thursday, February 28th. I’m happy to collect the forms and send them on to the middle schools, but I’ll need to have them before the due date. If you have questions, please contact the middle school directly.

We are making great progress on our Wax Museum project. Students drafted their speeches this week. We’ll make revisions next week and begin memorizing them. Yes, I did say memorizing them. If you need any help with your child’s costume, please let me know. Keep in mind that your child doesn’t need to look exactly like their Wax Museum person. I’ve had many families in the past have had great luck putting together a costume with the help of Goodwill.


The Zach Science Fair & Invention Convention 
will be held on March 12th, 2019 and is open to all 3rd-5th grade students. 
Winning 4th & 5th graders will have the opportunity to participate in the 
Fort Collins Museum of Discover Science & Engineering Fair on Saturday, March 30th.
Please sign up to participate by February 20th at www.mrsnimlo.weebly.com
Information and project ideas can also be found on Mrs. Nimlo's website. If you have questions, please contact Mrs. Nimlo at jnimlo@psdschools.org

Valentine’s Day is Thursday, February 14th. In fifth grade, we keep parties simple. We’ll have a competition for the heartiest, sportiest, and the most unique Valentine's Day Box. The kids will distribute and read their Valentines. I’ll also pick up a treat for the students to enjoy. If we have time, we’ll play a few games.

Thank you to everyone who gave me their valentine for their student. If you haven’t, please do so as soon as possible. I want every child to have a valentine from their parents.

You can find all the newsletters for the year and other fun pictures including a video of Bella’s “Who Knew” at our classroom blog http://khalesclass.blogspot.com/.
