Hello Amazing 5/6 Families!

I have to admit, this four day week sure felt like a five day week!  I hope you had a wonderful time with your families and enjoyed the three day weekend!

Science Camp - Please reserve your child's spot for science camp by making a $40 deposit by September 16, 2016.  If you are planning on chaperoning, then you need to make a $20 deposit by September 16, 2016.  Parent chaperones are required to have a level 1 Fingerprint Clearance Card.  My suggestion is to get started on the card ASAP.

Garden - We are getting ready to plant in the next couple of weeks.  Your children can bring hats, sunglasses, water bottles, extra shoes, etc. - whatever they may need to help them while they learn about the garden.  It can be hot!  Cooler weather is just around the corner!

Science - We are finishing up with our 3rd Scientist Quiz.  There will be one more Scientist Quiz that includes ALL 33 scientists.  This will be on Thursday and Friday, Sept. 15 - 16, 2016.  I will post the study guide or you can refer back to previous study guides.  Don't forget to click on the paperclip in the box for your child's cohort.  This will bring up the study guide.

We are also review and practicing Scientific Method through various activities and another science experiment.  There will be a post Scientific Method quiz coming up before fall break.  We will also be finishing up our notes in our science journals.

Please check your child's backpack and agenda on a regular basis.

I will be sending out a Sign Up Genius requesting donations for a science experiment and also for our PRIDE activity right before ILP's and Fall Break.  Please watch for these two sign ups.  We are always grateful for the tremendous amount of support you give to our 56 team.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Yours in science,
Mrs. Biggs
