Our Activities
Invention Fair
(postponed)
At the end of October, ALL 6th grade students participate in our school Invention Fair. Students are to identify a problem and find a solution for it.
On the day of the fair, the students are required to have their
1.) Journal (given to the students by the teacher)
2.) Backboard (bought by parent)
3.) Model (built by the student/parent)
Parents will be invited to the school that evening to view all the inventions and watch as we award 33 students in 11 catagories.
The invention fair is FUN and it should not be stressful for either the student or the parent.

Balloon Car Races
In the spring, students will create their very own balloon car. These cars will be powered by nothing more than a balloon. We will race them and find winners in each class.
The kids LOVE this project!
I would encourage you to search Google or YouTube for Balloon Car races. You will get a ton of ideas and it is a fun project for you and your child to do together.
