PROJECT NIGHT INFORMATION:
1. Project night is this Wednesday, January 15th.
2. Scholars will come down to their classrooms at 5:45 while parents wait in the courtyard.
3. Parents will be able to mingle through all of the classrooms after the scholars are set up and ready. This will take place at 6:00
4. PROJECT NIGHT IS AN OPEN HOUSE EVENT. After visiting our classroom please feel free to visit both the other first grade classrooms as well as all the classrooms of other grade levels. Due to the large number of people who will be walking through the classrooms parents will not be able to stay in their scholar's classroom.
5. Part of project night includes scholar's being able to talk about their projects. When visiting other scholars, classrooms, grade levels, good questions to ask are, "What is your system? What did you study? What are the parts? What was the most interesting thing you learned."
6. Parents may pick up their scholar at 6:45.
Please contact any first grade teacher if you have any questions about Project Night.
