A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade
Elementary Yearbooks are now on sale ONLINE ONLY!!! The cost will be $16.00 for the full-color book. After March the 22nd the ONLINE prices will increase to $20.00 while supplies last. To order please go to:
• Commpe.pictavo.com and enter the school code 79287 and click “Shop My School”.
Don’t delay as there will only a limited supply after 3/22/19. All yearbooks will need to be ORDERED ONLINE. There will not be any yearbooks available for purchase in the Zach office at the end of the year. This is the first opportunity to purchase a Zach yearbook. If you think that you have already ordered one it was probably for your Middle or High School student. Reminder fliers were sent home in Friday Folders on February the 22nd.
This week we started our next writing task - Animal Interviews. We’ll be doing the research and writing during class. For homework, your child needs to create a puppet for their presentation. We’ll begin practicing our presentations on Monday, March 11th so students need to have their puppets with them that day.
After Spring Break, we will begin CMAS testing. Students in fifth grade take ELA (Reading and Writing), Science, and Math. Students will be taking ...
the ELA test - Tues., April 2nd - Thurs., April 4th,
the Science test - Tues., April 9th & Wed., April 10th, and
the Math test - Tues., April 16th - Thurs., April 17th.
We test in the mornings from 10:15 to 12:40. 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 during the test, as students must finish the test the day they start. Unfortunately, this is a lot of testing that we as teachers are required to administer. As a team, we do our best to keep as much instruction time intact without overwhelming the students.
Report Cards for the second trimester came home today. If you have any questions, please contact me or the subject area teacher.

A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade
Each year, I leave Wax Museum night in a state of both exhaustion and euphoria. It always amazes me what the students are able to do. I hope each student was proud of his or her hard work because I sure was proud of them.

A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade
Thursday night, February 21st from 6:00 to 7:00, is the 5th Grade Wax Museum night. We hope you will be able to make it. Here are a few reminders just to make the night go smoothly.
- Students should arrive at Zach, with their costumes on, at 5:45. We’ll need a few minutes to get everyone in place and set up to go.
- Parents, please plan to arrive at 6:00 as that's when we will be opening the doors to the public.
- In years past, we have encouraged parents to bring in coins to activate the wax figures. This year students will have red buttons on their wrists that you will gently tap to activate the figures. No need to bring any coins, thank you.
- As you know, the students each wrote an informational book on their wax museum figure before writing their speeches. Those papers will be out in the cafeteria for you to read. Post-it notes and pens will be there on the tables for you to leave “way to go” notes on their papers.
- We will hold a dress rehearsal on Thursday afternoon. Students will need to bring their costumes with them to school that day, but we will be sending them home with them so they can come to school that evening in their costume.
- We'd like your help with one other thing on Wax Museum night. As we will have lots of kids presenting and lots of parents observing, it is important that we keep side conversations to a minimum. It has the potential to get very loud. Please feel free to chat in the cafeteria away from the presenters. The kids have worked so hard we want to honor their work by being great audiences.
