Jared The Subway Guy:)

Jared, the Subway guy, came to visit  Zinser!  He gave a speach on how to make healthy choices and stay healthy!  He showed us his old pants:)  Ha.

We can't believe it is almost October!!  The weather is changing and we are back in full swing of things:)  Welcome to our 5th grade blog.  We are excited to have you follow the extra fun things we are doing in our classes.  This is a work in progress for us!   We are learning new things everyday:)

Friday our first memo came home with lots of good information and important dates.  It was on purple paper.  We hope you were able to read it with your child.

This Friday will be our first Friday Finale which will start at 3:00.  Hope to see you there.

Next week we have two field trips which we will be spending time outside.  Please keep your eye on the weather and help your child dress accordingly.

Getting to know your child has been a rewarding experience.  Thank you for sharing them with us:)

Science

I am ecstatic to report that 54 students out of 60 received a 1+ on the Classification assessment. The test was not an easy test and covered a great deal of information. I am very proud of the students they did awesome! :) I will send these home for your viewing pleasure as soon as all students have completed the test.

We began Species Adaptations today. I am confident that the students will enjoy this topic and do well! Thanks for all the support and help studying for these tests.

March Madness (5th grade style :))

We have had a busy month! I thought would share a few highlights before Spring Break. We visited the Middle School! The students went on a tour around the school led by student council members. They seemed nervous, but excited about what lies ahead.

We had our annual Zinser Talent/Art/Science Show! It was a great success! I hope that all that attended and participated had a fun filled experience!

We had a visit from Rob the Drummer. He had a great entertaining message about bullying and self esteem.

Mr. Hopkins came in to our classes to read to the students as a part of our March is Reading Month events. It was nice to get to know him a little better.

We had to say good-bye to Mrs. Huizen. :(

Hopefully many of you were able to attend our Famous American night at Central. It was a huge success. I was able to visit each of our students' stations that night. They were all so amazing. I can speak for all of us and Mr. V when I say we are so proud of our students! They looked great and their behavior was wonderful! Thank-you parents for all your participation and cooperation! Thank-you Mrs. Frost for all the time, effort, and organization you put into that project!

Subject Area Updates:
Math
The students just finished their unit on Multiplication. After Spring Break they will begin a unit on Division.

Science
We are at the end of our Classification unit. I tried hard to complete the unit before break and we almost made it but not quite :) We will have our review and test the week after break. Our next unit will be Adaptations and then the Solar System.

Social Studies
We just completed our unit on Colonialism. Our final unit will be Independence. We will begin that unit after break.

Language Arts
Our last quarter will consist of a review of all the writing traits we have learned and implemented this year. We will then focus on incorporating these into a narrative.

Reading & RtI
We will be doing some fun things with reading in the last quarter. We will be doing some book projects and presentations. We will be exploring the genres of Science Fiction and Historical Fiction.

Please keep in mind we have our school spring concert on April 16!

Have a fantastic safe Spring Break!
