The cost of the trip for parent chaperons will be $5.00. Parent chaperons must provide their own transportation. There is not room on the School Bus.
A permission slip and more information will be coming home soon.

Science Fair Boot Camp
Mark your calendar! The Lindbergh Science Fair Boot Camp is Wednesday, March 12th at 6:30. The student project boards will be displayed and there will also be hands on Science experiments to try!
Your student’s “GROWING A GUMMY WORM” experiment is being sent home today. Included are the experiment procedures and the materials you need.
We grew a gummy worm in water in class this week so the students should be familiar with the procedure. We made predictions, observations, recorded data, and made conclusions. You are doing the same thing at home but you are adding a variable!
Good Luck, have fun and email me if you have any questions!
