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,
