Testing, Science Fair, Field Day, and more

It's the last month of the school year and there is so much happening at LPA. Georgia Performance Standard review continues to be our skill focus in all four academic areas. We are excited about the opportunity to strengthen the foundation we have been building all year. The CRCT is giving us the chance to demonstrate all we have learned as we look forward to reaching the next grade level. Before we get there, here are a few notes on important upcoming events:

Our 4th Grade Science Fair- each student is learning to apply the scientific method by creating a project for our fair. Parents and guardians can be supportive by helping to complete project experiments and purchasing supplies, such as, experiment materials and a three-tier display board for the fair.  Please review the Science Fair Project Time line for project due dates.

Due Date	Things to do
April 9-10	Choose Topic & Question
April 18	Research
April 18	Hypothesis
April 25	Design experiment
May 2	Conduct experiment & record observations
May 9	Table/chart & graph(s) of data
May 9	Report
May 9-15	Make display/exhibit
May 16	Present project

Field Day is May 4th and it will be an opportunity to celebrate school pride. Whether your family still needs to complete volunteer hours or not, this is a great time to be a visible part of the LPA community.
