6th Gray<br />
This month has seen all <strong>of</strong> our kids make a big push to get ready for the<br />
science fair! I am feeling especially proud as their teacher because our kids have been<br />
taking this on from start to finish here at school all on their own! For many <strong>of</strong> our kids,<br />
this will be the first time they have taken on sole responsibility for a project <strong>of</strong> this type.<br />
They have been conducting experiments, observing, recording results,<br />
and analyzing results to come to a conclusion. Further, they have created display<br />
boards and decided on their own what to say and how to say it during the presentation<br />
on Thursday.<br />
It seems very possible and even probable that the grade 6 science fair<br />
projects will not be as pretty, polished, or perfect as in past years. What they will be is<br />
real, produced by our kids, understood by our kids, and displayed with pride by their<br />
producers.<br />
I told our kids before the start <strong>of</strong> the fair that it does not matter who wins.<br />
The science fair is not a contest, it is a learning experience. I think I can say with<br />
confidence, before any results are in, that in that way it has been a definite success.<br />
Thank you for understanding the purpose <strong>of</strong> the event and supporting our hard working<br />
kids.<br />
