Science Fair Project	
October 2, 2018	
Dear Parents and Guardians of Six Grade Students,
All students will be required to complete a scientific research project for the Science Fair this year. The complete project must consist of a Logbook, Formal Report, and a Display Board (Display boards should be 35 inches by 46 inches). The top 60 projects from the six grade will be displayed in the lunchroom for judging in January. Parental help or guidance on the project is welcomed, but do not do the project for your child. If you have not purchased all of the general supplies for the project it is a good idea to get them now since all schools will be doing science projects at the same time. All stores will have limited supplies. (Wal-Mart, Office Depot, Staples, Fred’s, Family Dollar etc.) All Science Fair documents as well as Science Fair resources will be posted on the teacher’s class page.  In addition, students may come to my classroom 8:15AM-8:50AM on Tuesdays to get help or advice. Below is a timeline and due dates to help you finish your project on time or before. If there any further questions you may contact Mr. McClain or Mrs. Williams during the hours or 3: 10 PM-3:50PM Mon or Fri at 706-737-7288.
You are cordially invited to the Title 1 Science Night, October 11th at 6:00 pm for a free Science board and Extra Credit.
No Emails please
