All students should be close to finishing the research portion of their animal research projects. The poster or Science Fair projects are due April 1. The Science Fair is April 2, so projects need to be at school on April 1st for setup.

We will be spending a good portion of the afternoons this week to work on the good copy of the projects. Please remind your child to bring their research note package everyday.

We are working on writing paragraphs in class, with a focus on staying on topic. Students should be using their note package to help organize their paragraphs to be glued to their posters. The rough outline is one paragraph on each of the following topics: what does the animal look like, where does it live, what does it eat, how does it protect itself from predators and finally how is it affected by humans.

Please click the link above for more information about the projects. You can also email me at kogren@sd85.bc.ca.
