Good Afternoon AmPark Families, We are so proud of our Owls for the hard work they put in on the state ELA exams this week. Thank you for all of the love, encouragement, and support that you have given your scholars throughout. So grateful that they will have this break ahead to rest, relax, and recharge ahead of the Math test to come. For all of those parents of 3rd-5th graders, so you have those dates on the horizon: May 7th & 8th - NY State Math Test for 3rd-5th Graders May 15th - NY State Science Test for 5th Graders Below, find information about our upcoming May events, including the AmPark Science Fair! In the meantime, please enjoy the time ahead, as we are off from April 22nd-April 30th. We will see you all on May 1st when school resumes! Go forth and sharpen that saw Owls! AmPark's May Events CalendarWhat's for Lunch in May?The Annual AmPark Science FairDear AmPark Families, It’s time to start working on the AmPark Neighborhood School Science Fair! This is an exciting event that encourages students to think as young scientists. Students will not only be learning important science content but they will also have choice in their learning which will make the projects so much more engaging! They will also be strengthening their writing skills and oral presentation skills during this process. The AmPark Science Fair will be held on Thursday, May 9th! While all classes will participate in the Fair with a whole class project, students in K-3 are welcome to participate, and 4th grade is strongly encouraged to participate. 5th grade students are required to do an individual or group project. During the next few weeks your child will be thinking and planning for a science project that uses the scientific methodology that they have used in science class each year. In the future our children will need the ability to solve problems in creative ways by questioning the world around them. This science project is a great opportunity for students to practice these important skills. Please join us in supporting your budding scientists journey! Are you interested in your child participating and want to get started on your projects? Please see the information linked here: AmPark's 2024 Science Fair. The winning project will be going to represent AmPark at the District 10 Science Fair! Comments are closed.
