Welcome to Class 5A ~ Mrs. Zawarski

Hello parents & students of the 2025/26 school year, welcome to Class 5A! 

I will be teaching Language Arts (Grammar, Spelling, & Writing), Reading (i.e. literature, etc.), Math, and Religion to my 5A homeroom. I will be teaching Social Studies to both classes, and Ms. Maynard will be teaching science to both classes. 

Please see my messages on the Bloomz app, where I will share my daily homework slides and other announcements related to our class, as well as pictures, videos, links to websites, and document files.

Please also be sure to read Mr. Dicker's weekly Parent Update email for school information and announcements not specific to just 5A.

You can also email me @ rzawarski@stjaneschool.com  with any questions/concerns.

Please always assume we could use tissues, paper towels, and disinfectant wipes, as the kids go thru them super fast!!

NOTE: Regarding tests - for most subjects - I do very thorough reviews in class that include showing the students a small quick preview of the actual test so they aren't surprised by what is expected of them and to lessen anxiety on test days. I allow and encourage them and give them time to take notes and ask questions or highlight sections of notes/resources that they know will be on the test, or write questions on sticky notes to put on pages in their textbooks or binders to review at home. I make paper and digital study guides and send links to Google slide shows and study resources on Quizlet. I give them every possible tool to be successful, BUT, they also need to study at home!!!! In class reviews, no matter how comprehensive, never replace studying at home!! If you have any questions please feel free to contact me!! 

Thank you for your support, let's have an awesome year!!!
