Dear parents,
Today I gave the 6th graders a small packet with information about the science fair. The science fair takes place on Wednesday January 16th and as we progress closer to the date, I will be giving out more information. Just to start though, I have included the background research plan and suggested to the students that they begin to give some thought to what they will be doing their project on. There are of course a lot of sites that can offer free information, or science fair kits to purchase, and again I will be giving out more information in the near future, but this is just an initial post to give you the heads up.
I also gave the 5th graders the packet to plan for the ‘Invention Convention.” This will take place in the week beginning January 14th. Again, I suggested that they start to think about a possible project to do. Of course, it is hard to come up with something truly original, but there are plenty of websites to look at online that have lots of ideas. At the back of the packet I gave them, there is a list of possible websites (but not on the digital copy here).
The 4th graders will be doing a collaborative STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) project in school for that week beginning January 14th and more information will be coming out in the near future.
Tomorrow, Friday, there is the Cultural Fair from 1-2:45. If your child has not brought their poster in, please make sure that they do.
Again, next week there is no school. School restarts on Monday, November 26th.
Thanks everybody, and if I don’t get a chance to post before next Thursday – Happy Thanksgiving!
John
