Science Fair FYI

Dear House A Families,

I wanted to update all of you regarding important Science and Engineering Fair (SAEF) news.

• Students should be actively doing their experiments or designing their prototypes this week!!!!  They should be done (with some exceptions-e.g., growing plants) by Sunday, 1/24/2016. 
• Each student had a digital copy of their remaining science fair packets sent to their google science classroom online.  If you have access to the internet, please encourage your student to show you each of the packets.  Enclosed in each packet are important bits of information regarding each section.  For example, scoring rubrics and supporting weblinks are included in each packet.  If you do not have access to the internet, please call Mr. DeCicco at 893-5511 or email me and I can send home a printed-out copy of the packets so you can review the material with your student.
• I am available to meet with students during lunch everyday except Wednesday.  I am available to work with students after school from 2:40-3:25 everyday except Tuesdays.  Email me if you have any questions.  I am strongly encouraging students to put additional time and effort outside of normal class time and am willing to make arrangements with families.
