6-Word Memoirs

A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade

If this is your first fifth grader at Zach, let me explain how graduation works. On Wednesday, May 29th at 10:30, we have a graduation ceremony in the gym. The doors open for seating at 10:00. The gym is usually quite full so I recommend you get here by 10:00 to get a seat. Although it is a special occasion, we don’t require students to dress up, just dress nice. After graduation, we all come out to the modulars for a picnic lunch. We’ll provide cake and lemonade, you just need to provide the picnic lunch. After the picnic, the kids go inside and change into shorts, t-shirts, and tennis shoes for Field Day which starts at 1:15.

The 17th Annual Zach Elementary Field Day will be on Wednesday, May 29th from 1:15-3:15 pm for kids in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade. Parents are welcome to come and watch, but Mr. U is looking for some volunteers. Volunteering would include helping set up, take down, and running an event. Set up will begin at 12:30pm for both days. If you are interested in helping out, please contact Mr. U at brentu@psdschools.org. The more volunteers we get, the more smoothly field day will run.

We finished our 6-word memoirs this week. You may see a video of our memoirs on our classroom blog.

A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade

We have finished testing! Yea! The students did an amazing job. They took their time and did their best. I’ll send home a copy of your child’s Maps results with their report card at the end of the year.

We’ll be visiting the middle schools on Friday, May 10th from about 9:00 to 12:00. Permission forms came home today. I would greatly appreciate it if you complete it and return it to school on Monday. If the weather is nice, the students going to Kinard will walk. Since Preston is a little further, those students will be taking a bus.

With the permission form, you’ll also find information about Human Growth and Development. Please read the note and then sign indicating whether your student will or will not be participating.

I will not be at school next Thursday and Friday for my daughter Mallory’s graduation from CU.
