Science Celebration
Dear Parents,
Our campus is
thrilled to host this year’s Science Celebration. Last year, we had a
spectacular family night! The teachers have continued the tradition of teaching
the scientific process in accordance to district guidelines. The process of
science inquiry and the scientific method have been taught throughout the year
with mini-investigations taking place in every classroom. All classroom projects will be on display as
well as all individual and group projects, as outlined below. Additionally, the
individual or group projects will not be judged competitively, but will be
monitored and graded by the classroom teachers.
The following plan, which has been in place for a few years, enables all
students to master individual science investigations by the end of the fifth
grade.
Kindergarten- grade 2: Teachers will complete a group science project with their
class and prepare a display board.
Third grade: Same as K-2, as well as prepare mini-display boards of their
CLASS project to use as a model for future projects.
Fourth grade: Same as K-3,
as well as completing GROUP or INDIVIDUAL projects.
Fifth grade: Same as K-4, as well as completing INDIVIDUAL projects.
The gymnasim will
be utilized this year for the projects. In addition, students from Marcus will be doing some interactive activities that our students can get involved in. Each grade level will have a specific
table with corresponding teacher’s names for EACH CLASS project. Each fourth and fifth grade teacher will have
a table designated for INDIVIDUAL projects that are currently being completed.
