The second grade class did a wonderful job of studying the solar system for this year's science fair! Yesterday, each student presented their planet, sun, or moon in the classroom. They each became the expert for their project topic. The other students had time to ask each child questions about their subject as well as their model. Overall, I think everyone learned a lot.
By this morning, everyone's projects were displayed in the basement. The second grade class first visited the preschool and kindergarten projects. Then they stood by their own projects while other classes walked around and observed their work. While they were standing near their projects a judge came around to ask questions and take notes about all of the projects. This score combined with their classroom presentation score will be how the winners are chosen. After the judge was finished, the second grade was able to visit first, third, and fourth grade science projects. We saw so many interesting things! Ask your child which was their favorite.
Tomorrow, the second grade is invited to see the junior high students' projects. If you would like to come see everyone's projects, the school will be open to families tonight from 5:30 -7:00. Feel free to stop in and see everyone's hard work.
