A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade

 

Two weeks down, one more to go.  We are almost done with CMAS.  Our Science test is on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week and then we are done with CMAS.

On Wednesday, April 12th, we’ll be taking class pictures.  Along with a homeroom picture and individual pictures, the fifth graders take a whole fifth grade picture.  The forms for ordering pictures went home in Friday folders this week.

On Thursday, April 27th at 3:45, there will be a parent meeting to plan Graduation and the Amazing Race.  We would appreciate it if you could volunteer and attend the meeting.  

Would you like to see pictures of the things we do in our classroom?  You can find all the newsletters for the year and other fun pictures including a video of Amelia’s and Gavin’s “Who Knew” at our classroom blog http://khalesclass.blogspot.com/ and at our classroom twitter account @HalesHomeroom.

The students have completed their first round of testing and did an amazing job.  They each took their time and put in their very best effort.  They will be starting Math next week then Science the following week.

The third graders are hold a canned food drive at Zach next week.  Their goal is to go completely around the hallway at school with canned food.  The food benefits the Larimer County Food Bank.

On Wednesday, April 12th, we’ll be taking class pictures.  Along with a homeroom picture and individual pictures, the fifth graders take a whole fifth grade picture.

I know it seems a long way away, but your child has started working on his or her slide for graduation.  Your student needs two (2) pictures.  - a little kid picture and a current picture of him or her doing something you enjoy!! Bring pictures in to be scanned, on a flash drive or email them to Mrs. Roberson anytime - rroberso@psdschools.org (no “N” in her address).

A group of parents are arranging an “Island Party” as a celebration for the fifth graders.  If you’d like more information, you can contact the parent volunteers at islandzach2017@gmail.com.

CMAS Testing Schedule

After Spring Break, we will begin CMAS testing.  Students in fifth grade take ELA (Reading and Writing), Math, and Science.  Students will be taking the ...

ELA test - Tues., March 28th - Thurs., March 30th

Math test - Mon., April 3rd -  Thurs., April 6th

Science test - Tues., April 11 - Thurs., April 13th.

We test in the afternoon from 1:30 to 3:30.  If at all possible,   please avoid appoints on these days which might require your child to be absent.  It is also important that students not leave early on these days, as students must finish the test the day they start.  Unfortunately, this is a lot of testing that we as teachers a required to administer.  As a team we do our best to keep as much instruction time intact without overwhelming the students.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, Jackson K.!
