Science Fair updates

Good afternoon Arbor families and happy Friday!

Science Fair is next week, and we are all so excited! We went over some practice tips in class this week to help prepare for the big day and answered any questions that your students had about how things will go for practicing next week and the science fair itself.

As a reminder, next week all students will have time to practice presenting in class. The schedule of which grade will be going when, as well as what will need to be brought in is included below. Thank you all for your support and hard work during this process, it is going to be a wonderful time thanks to your commitment and efforts. As always, please feel free to email me with any questions or concerns, and have a wonderful weekend!

In addition, any second-grade students who will be ready to present on Monday and would like to go then, please email me directly.

All the best,

Shelby Alston
