Three Days to Go!

More Science Fair photos have been added to the PhotoSite.

Once again, the Warrior staff was victorious over the 5th graders! The annual softball game took place this morning. Pictures can be seen on the PhotoSite.

Tomorrow is the final awards assembly of the year. Be there at 9:30AM to recognize the students' achievements in the third trimester!

If you haven't already, you have one last chance to contribute to the Science Camp fundraiser by bringing 6 bottles/boxes of drinks (juice, water, no soda) to the front of the school on Wednesday morning. The drinks will be sold at the BBQ on Thursday.

Our end of the year party will be held during lunch on Wednesday. Some food (pizza and green salad) and drink will be provided by me, though I am requesting that students contribute at least one cup of washed, bite-sized fruit to be used in a yummy fruit salad. If you wish to bring something, please make sure there is enough for the whole class (33 students). Please do not bring candy, chips, or soda. Students who do not participate in the party will have their regular lunch in the cafeteria.

Science Fair

The Upper Grade Science Fair was a great success! There were so many projects exhibited, the tables in Bennett Hall were nearly full. Each student will receive a certificate for participating and plaques will be awarded for the top project in each of four categories.

Pictures from the Science Fair can be found in my PhotoSite gallery.

Remember to bring drinks on Friday for the Science Camp fundraiser! We are hoping to raise $300 selling drinks at the BBQ for next year's camp.

Also, please bring your donations for the Student Council Read-a-Thon fundraiser. Upper grade will be reading for one whole hour on Friday to raise funds for Student Council programs. Ask everyone you know to sponsor you!

Science Fair

STAR testing is finally complete, with all makeups being taken this Monday. Yay!!

As part of their homework, students should be working on their Science Projects in anticipation of the Science Fair this June. Topics and partners have been chosen, and information packets have been distributed. Each project centers on a question and the students' hypothesis (theory) on the answer. Students will devise experiments or investigations which will prove or disprove their hypothesis and hopefully answer their question.

Each project should have a tri-fold presentation board (see picture at left) for display in Bennett Hall on the day of the fair. These are readily available at office and art supply stores such as Staples or Michaels for about $5. I will have a limited number available for purchase in June.
