Science Fair Projects
Your children should all be in the process of doing their science fair projects. They have been taught all the elements involved in the scientific process. They have notes in their Science Project Notebook. They also have an orange packet containing all the information about the project and everything they need to include and put on their science fair board.
Biography & Persuasive Paragraph Project
In a week the students will be selecting their person for their Biography and Persuasive Essay. They will be answering the question:
Whose contributions are so significant they should never be forgotten?
They will choose a person, I have a list to choose from. Then they will research the person and do a one page biography of them as well as their work. Then they will synthesize the information in order to write a persuasive paragraph explaining why that person should never be forgotten. Most of the research will be done at school, but if they do not complete certain parts they will possibly need to do some research and typing at home. Look for a packet on this project to come home soon.

Test Corrections
Your child can ALWAYS do test corrections! The last math test and the Chapter 1 First Test test (First Test is the name of the book we are reading in class) are some they might want to correct.
To do test corrections they need to:
1. Get a binder pieces of paper
2. Math- write the standard number and then problem number
3. Reading - Write the problem number
4. Write the correct answer, showing the work and answering in sufficient detail to show they know the answer well.
5. Staple the binder paper to the test
6. Turn it in
