Science Fair Project…Getting Started!

Dear Snow Families of Grades 3-5,

All students grades 3-5 are required to participate in our 2nd annual science fair.  Please help your child brainstorm ideas for his/her science experiment.  Ideas can be found on the following websites:

www.sciencebuddies.org    www.super-science-fair-projects.com    www.sciencefair-projects.org

Allowable Projects:  Experimental type projects that use the scientific method with a testable question.   Ex:  Does aspirin affect the growth rate of roses?  What brand of bread grows the most mold?

Projects Not Allowed:  Research projects (What is a hurricane?) or models (a volcano; a solar system).  These do not involve testing.

***All information will be sent home on Monday, March 30th.***

Thank you for your continued support in promoting our students’ scientific skill development

Week of March 23-27

Spelling words (multi-syllabic /le/):  tickle, puddle, table, bubble, riddle

Academic words:  model, sentence, capital, conflict, defend

Reading Bags are due every Monday.  Students are expected to read the book throughout the week at home, then complete the assignment.  Many students have not been putting effort into their assignments and are receiving a “4” as their grade.  Please make sure your child is working to their best ability on all homework.

Literacy Night is TONIGHT from 5:00-6:00 p.m.  Lots of fun activities for the family that involve literacy.  I hope to see you there!

Parent Teacher Conferences are this Thursday, March 26th.  If you have not received an invitation from me, you do NOT need to come to conferences.  If you have a specific question or concern you may stop by anytime between 4:00-7:00 p.m.

Congratulations to Silvia for being the first student to pass all of her three minute multiplication and division tests.  She is the first member of the “Math Wizards Club“!!!
