Our September book reports turned out great!  I was so impressed with the creativity of the students!

This month’s book report is student choice.  They can choose their genre as well as the format they would like to report in.  I would ask that if they are planning on doing a power point that they let me know a week in advance so I can reserve the projector.

Please remind your children to bring their book of choice to school.  We have silent reading after recess on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.  This is a great time for your students to read the book they are planning to use for their book report.

Our next science fair deadline is October 24.  Students need to have their background research plan submitted on or before this date in order to stay on track with their project. We will be discussing this plan in detail in class this coming week.  The research plan form was sent home with your student at the same time the proposal form came home.  If you need to print another copy of this for your child, you can find the link on the PDF page at the top of the blog.

A research paper is required for 6th grade students (recommended for 4th and 5th grade students).  As such, we will be doing a teacher guided mini-research paper in the months prior to Science Fair.

Just a reminder that science fair is a mandatory home project and all upper elementary students are expected to participate.
