Dear Fifth Grade Students and Parents/Guardians:

Welcome to Miss Zachwieja’s link on our 5th grade wikispace! I am looking forward to continuing to incorporate a lot of useful information on this site. In the past, I’ve given students pages and pages of color-coded information to add into their 3-ring binders. This was time-consuming, expensive, and not eco-friendly. By posting interesting and important information on our class wikispace, I hope to further reduce the number of paper copies we need to distribute to students. This way, we can: (1) help the environment, (2) make your binders a LOT lighter, and (3) allow you to have access to a wealth of information at home and at school! It’s a GREAT advantage!

My hope is that you will visit our wikispace often. Mrs. Wasserman and I will be changing things on this site almost daily. I also often post fun riddles on my homework page! If you get the riddle answer right, you can earn a Cumberland paw print!

I’m looking forward to enjoying a FABULOUS year with all of the fifth grade students. This is the second year that Mrs. Wasserman will be my grade level partner, and I’m so excited about that! Mrs. Wasserman will be teaching science to all fifth grade students, and I will be teaching social studies to all fifth grade students. Therefore, no matter who your homeroom teacher may be, you’ll get to know both of us fifth grade teachers quite well. More importantly, we look forward to getting to know each and every one of you throughout the school year.

For sixteen weeks this fall, I will be having a student teacher, Ms.Mariela Kovacs, who is from Northeastern Illinois University. Northeastern is my alma mater, as I earned my undergraduate degree from that institution. Please join me in welcoming Ms. Kovacs, and you may read an introduction about her by accessing the link on our home page.

So, Class of 2013, let’s make it the BEST year **ever**! Remember, we’re getting you ready for the exciting transition to middle school!

Fondly, Miss Zachwieja
