Valentine’s Day: My philosophy is that this party is for the kids, and I let them plan it. My other philosophy is that everyone brings something for the good of all. It may be napkins or it may be a healthy snack or cookies (we try to have a balance). Finally, if we bring valentines for one, we bring them for all. If we put “treats” inside the valentines, we put a “treat” inside all of them.

Feb 13th: Students need to have a science fair notebook. They should be noting/entering/logging everything they do. It does not have to be a traditional notebook. It can be several papers stapled together or in a folder, but they must not be random sheets with no organization.
A parent signature needs to be on the notebook.
