Each year the learning fair is put on by the Hoosic Valley PTO for 3rd -6th grade students to showcase their love or interest in learning.
The Learning Fair is much more than a science fair. Your student can conduct their own science experiment or design a project based on their favorite book. It’s all up to the student and what his/her strengths and interests are!
This year the learning fair will be on Tuesday May 20th, the same day as the Hoosic Valley budget vote. While this is completely voluntary, it is highly encouraged.
It’s voluntary, for any student in grades 3-6.
Think of a question that you would like to answer, such as “What is a mosaic? How does a plane fly? Who was Mozart? Why does it rain? Why do volcanoes erupt?”
You can use this handy planner to help you get started!
Ways of sharing:
Models, Drawings, Graphs , Charts, Dioramas, Slides, Videos, Computer , Reports, Posters, Photographs – anything you can think of!
No. The purpose of this event is to have fun, learn by exploring, and see other projects at the fair!! It’s even OK if your project doesn’t turn out the way you expected. That’s part of learning too!
Every student that participates will receive a fun thank you gift!
