Surprise! It's a middle of the week blog.

I talked to the kids today about science fair projects, and we are giving them until Tuesday,
March 1 to decide on a project. Some of the kids are asking questions for which I need the opinion of others, so I am going to ask at our faculty meeting on Monday. I know I recommended the sciencebuddies.org website, but you also need to realize that not everything they suggest will work.
First of all, you need to decide if the project is at grade level. Then you also need to decide which of the three categories it will fit into.

Book orders are due Friday, February 25.

Six Flags reading records are due Monday, February 28.

February 13

Three quick reminders for this week:

1. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Check back to a previous note for more information.

2. Thursday is the science fair question and answer night. Be sure to bring your child along, if you can. There is also more info on that in a previous note as well as in the daily anouncements.

3. This one may be new to you, but the kids have known for a few days. During the second quarter, there was a friendly competiton using pennies to see which class could collect the most for our mission offering, and the fourth graders won. The prize is a pizza party, which will be served during lunch on Tuesday. It includes pizza only, so you will need to either provide a beverage or have your child order milk. If your child does not want pizza, you can send a lunch or order hot lunch as always.
