A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade

We are almost done with CMAS.  Yea! We are going to make up the test we missed on Wednesday on Tuesday,  April 23rd.  That day we’ll test in the morning from 10:10 to 12:40 then have homeroom in the afternoon.

Today, we were visited by arborists from the city of Fort Collins in honor of Arbor Day.  We learned why trees are so important and how the city cares for the trees in Fort Collins.  Each student brought home a tree as well.  I have attached, to this email, directions for planting the tree.  We usually a few extras if you'd like a second tree.

A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade

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 Science next week then Math the following week.

On Wednesday, April 10th, 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 or on a flash drive or email them to Mrs. Roberson anytime - rroberso@psdschools.org (no “N” in her address).  These need to be in by April 15th.

Friday, April 12th is set aside for parent/teacher conferences. Please know that if I had any concerns about your child’s progress, I would have already contacted you about having a meeting. If you would like to take this opportunity to conference with me, please send me an email with a date and time that work for you. I am available Thursday, April 11th at 7:50 am, 8:10 am, and 3:40 pm and Friday, April 12th after 1:00. If none of these times work, please email me with a date and time and will do my best to make it work.

A calendar of our testing schedule along with the theme for each day is in your child’s planner. You can help ensure that your child’s testing experience is a positive one by making sure your child gets plenty of rest and a good breakfast each morning. I’ve told the students that they can bring a small baggie with hard candy and/or gum along with a snack for testing.

A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade

How was your Spring Break? I hope everyone enjoyed time relaxing with family.

It’s not too late to purchase an Elementary Yearbook, but it soon will be. The ONLINE price is $20.00. To order please go to:

• Commpe.pictavo.com and enter the school code 79287 and click “Shop My School”.

There will not be any yearbooks available for purchase in the Zach office at the end of the year.

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.
