Class Pictures and Science Fair

Class pictures are scheduled for February 7th - next Thursday - and picture packets came home yesterday if you're interested in purchasing class pictures.  Please try to make sure that your student is here next Thursday to make sure they will be in our class photo - there are no make ups! 

Science fair packets also came home yesterday.  Students should have a white packet (that is to keep at home for you to look over to have some background information in the science fair and what the expectations are) and an orange packet that is to be kept in their binder at all times.  This is where students will keep all of their information during the science fair preparation.  The science fair is REQUIRED of all fourth grade students so please make sure that students are working with you to have access to materials AND to plan/execute their science experiment or field study.  The projects are due March 6th and the science fair is March 7th.  ALL of the information you should need is in the packets students have, but if there are any questions, feel free to email me and ask.  I will be giving students small due dates along the way to make sure they are staying on track - it seems like March 6th is a long ways away but it will definitely sneak up on us quickly so this is something that needs to be worked on in little bits along the way.  The first due date is tomorrow (Wednesday) where students need to have a general topic picked out and an idea of what experiment or field study they plan on completing.  No plans or hypotheses need to be done, simply a topic is all.

Thanks for your support of our 4th grade scientists!
