Science Fair and Cubs Game

We looked at a wonderful web site today that has many ideas for science fair projects. The students had time to explore this after taking an interest survey. To look for more ideas, or to look at directions at an experiment they found, go here:

Science Buddies

Click on "Topic Selection Wizard" to take the interest survey for project suggestions, or click on "Science Fair Project Ideas Directory" to browse ideas by subject area. If the student remembers the name of a project he or she liked, he or she can also enter it into the search bar.

We will be going to the Cubs game this Wednesday, with grades 1-6. We will leave school at 11:30, after eating lunch, and get to the stadium in time to get settled and buy snacks before the game begins. Students should wear their gym uniform, and must wear a warm coat. They can always take the coat off if they get hot, but we will be sitting in the shade for several hours, and it is much easier to take a coat off if they are hot than to make one materialize if they get cold. They can bring money for snacks, a camera, and a cell phone (for emergencies only), but they are responsible for making sure it does not break or get lost. They may not bring any bags with them. We will stop at the classroom to pick up bookbags before we leave, and we should be back at school, ready for the kids to get picked up, at 4:20.
