Dear Parents,
Our school will be having a Science Fair on Thursday, 28 April 2016! We hope that, with your enthusiastic encouragement, your student will participate in the fair by preparing a project. This will be an exciting experience for your child!
Although students receive help at school from teachers, parent support and assistance are essential to your child’s success.
We are confident the following benefits will result from your child’s participation in the Science Fair:
* Reinforcement of grade level science literacy and math skills
* Fostering curiosity, awareness, and creativity
* Increased scientific knowledge
* Learning research techniques
* Growth in ability to work independently
* Having fun with science
In addition to the opportunity to work on a project, the Science Fair provides students with an increased awareness of science and an opportunity for them to develop positive attitudes about themselves and their work. The science project allows children to use critical thinking and problem solving skills learned in science and in math.
Please look for updates and special messages concerning the science fair in the coming days.
Remember: “Science is not merely a collection of facts printed in an encyclopedia. It is a living adventure of the human spirit.” (author unknown)
