Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a fun Christmas break.
Students will be participating in a special kind of science fair called the Invention Convention. The mission of the Invention Convention is to inspire curiosity, critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills in our students.
Students will invent a new product or develop a new method for doing something. Instructions and a grading rubric have been handed out in class. A copy is also available on this 5B website. Inventions are due Friday, January 25th. They will be displayed in the hallway for Catholic Schools Week.
