You are all invited to our WORLD FAIR!
What? A collection of projects that students in our class have created. These displays are an expression of the knowledge about countries from around the world that each student has selected themselves.
Where? The Hoover Media Center
When? 1:00-1:55pm
How? Please tour the media center, listen to the students share the information, try foods from around the world and learn interesting things about the cultures, history, geography (and much more!) from many countries. Other Hoover classrooms will be touring during this hour.
SCHOOL OF THE WILD
6th grade parents: Please sign your student's two sheets that they brought home last Friday. One is a permission form. The other is a medical release. The students should bring these gold and blue sheets back to school before or on April 2nd.
Meredith Caskey, one of the School of the Wild instructors will be here Tuesday, April 3rd, to prepare our 6th graders for their week in the wild. It is truly an amazing and meaningful week and I look forward to teaching the students at McBride Nature Center, with Jeff Kosier and the other Nature Center instructors.
Please look over the packet, return the two forms and let me know if you have any questions.

Science challenge, Parent invite, and World's Fair
Hoover Families - In science, students will begin to plan a design for our "one minute timer challenge." For this project, we will reuse any items from home or school in creative ways. The items that will be very helpful to reuse are:
-empty 2 liter plastic bottles (any from soda, drinks, etc.)
-empty 1 L bottles
-any empty plastic bottles (water, sports drinks, etc.)
-sand (In sealed bags. Some students may use the sand in the timers)
-duct tape
If you have any of these items that you wouldn't mind donating, please send them with your students this week. Thank you very much!!!
Also, all parents are invited to school from 2:25-2:55 on Friday, March 9th in a celebration of reading. Parents are invited to get their student(s), bring a blanket to sit on, and pick a place in the school or outside to read with their child(ren). You may take your children home after this event. Cookies and water will be in the hallway outside the office for parents and students to help themselves to.
WORLD'S FAIR!
Students have finished their research papers on their country of choice and are now beginning to plan their project for our WORLD'S FAIR. These projects will be created and developed by students over the next few weeks. Students have chosen to immerse themselves in knowledge about countries from almost every continent!
Our World's Fair will be held on March 28th, in our classroom, from 1-2pm. The first half hour will be for other classes to tour the world, and then parents are invited to attend from 1:30-2:00.
Some students have chosen to create a poster presentation. I have been looking around for a good deal and found a set of several boards, and it came out to $2.80 for each tri-fold board. To help cover the cost, if your student would like to use the tri-fold board, it would be great if each student could bring $2.50. Thank you! Some students are using other presentation methods, and they can share with you tonight about what they've chosen - so no need to worry about the cost.
I can't wait to have the students share a bit of the world!
Thanks,
