Science Fair time!

This week, the 6th and 7th graders are getting ready to start their science fair experiments. With a date set at the end of April for them to show off their projects, now is a critical time to execute everything they've been working towards this year.

For the 6th graders, the science fair can be a daunting task. As newcomers to the project, we spent some time last week hearing advice from the more experienced 7th graders. The 6th graders were able to ask questions and hear about the experience from kids who have already been through the process. Now let's start experimenting!

Science Fair

The 6th graders spent this week peer-editing each other's science fair reports. The have now completed their entire rough draft, including making data charts from their experiment, and writing their Discussion and Conclusion.  The peer editing process was useful to not only get constructive feedback on their own paper, but also to see how their classmate wrote their research paper and to think critically about the writing process.  The Science Expo will be held on May 19th, and we will be having a virtual version as well, so families can check out all of the hard work the students have done this year, and the students can show off their finished report and display board. Stay tuned for more info, and join us in May!

This week the 6th graders have been hard at work preparing for their CTP exams next week. In math class we spent time taking practice tests and reviewing our answers. The students have been working hard, but we still found time for fun during lunch and recess. Good luck on the CTP's next week, 6th grade!

The 6th grade did a fabulous job of transitioning to virtual learning earlier in the week.  We have become more creative and flexible as we navigate the challenges that this year has presented to us. The students have proven to be excellent problem-solvers during this time.  On Thursday of this week,  we celebrated Earth Day.  Students in every grade participated in a Litter Walk.  Sixth graders were shocked at how much trash they picked up as they cleaned up the perimeter of the school building.  Friday, students honored Autism Awareness month and dressed in blue.  The school raised over $300 for the Kinney Center for Autism Education and Support at Saint Joseph's University. Upcoming events: S tudents in 3rd through 8th grade will be taking the CTP 5 exam the week of May 3rd. .
