I had a fun time with the 4th and 5th grade classes yesterday. Here are a few of the points we talked about: the project guides and the display boards are free this year for all the students. The teachers are passing those materials out to the students. The teachers are in charge of grading the projects as class assignments. The projects are due on April 9th and will be displayed at the Community Dinner on April 10th. Check with your child's teacher about doing projects with a partner.
Most importantly, have FUN with your project! Choose a topic that interests you and check the websites that are in the packet or on this blog. Start soon by choosing a topic this month, and starting your experiment by March. Projects are not reports and are not models. Students were reminded they had to test something...compare objects...do an experiment. We are here to help so good luck and discover something new!
