Science Fair Extravaganza!

My students need tri-fold boards and other science fair starters for the first annual science fair!

Ms. Dillon Wilkinson County Elementary School

Woodville, MS Grades 3-5

The order includes Tri-fold boards, Science Projects for Dummies, and awards to make sure the students have what they need to achieve the objective they are choosing to explore as part of the Science Fair. My students need to develop an exploring, inquisitive, experimenting mindset. I teach at a low-income school where the population overall is 99% free and reduced lunch with related disadvantaged socio-economic conditions. Inside however, they are very bright and brilliant. They are anxious to do well and learn new things, but materials are a must to expose them to adequate hands-on processes.

Most of them will try the project to the best of their ability. However, I would rather parents' involvement is in intrinsic traits which help them to stay motivated throughout the projects instead of going to distant places to find various items needed to achieve good results. This will be their first Science Fair and it will have implications on how the lower grades will also seek to improve on this one. Hope they are impressed!

The nearest place for students to get Tri-fold boards is a town at least 45 minutes away. Unless they are provided by the teacher or others, they will not with all of their means be able to get what they need.

You will make it possible for my students to listen and learn, implement what they have heard, and achieve success by hands-on projects which they will remember and build on for a lifetime. Thank you, now!
