Parents,
There is one week before our school celebrates STEM week (January 14-18). Sixth grade students will be presenting their science fair projects on Wednesday the 16th, 5th graders will be presenting their engineering projects on Thursday the 17th and the fourth graders will be presenting their group STEM project on Friday the 18th. The fourth graders and I will be planning their project this week. We will let you know if we need any help from you. Because the science fair came so quickly this year after the holiday break, I want you to know that whatever your student hands in will be alright with me. I don’t want anyone panicking the night before and staying up until one a.m. trying to finish (I’ve been there.). I do want to see your students give it their best effort. I will do what I can at school to get them ready by providing computer time and materials if needed. Will you let me know how I can support you with this home project? We’ve got printers, paper, extra boards and all the school-type stuff that your student might need. We do want our shared-students to feel successful and confident with their school work which is enhanced when they get help from both home and school.
Thank you,
Ms. Shanan
