6A—Mrs. Vasil

Parents and students:

Science Fair will be on April 23rd.

All students MUST have ALL components for their display:

Display boards

Journal

Photos

Research paper

Experiment

Judging will be conducted after school (students are not staying)

Students MUST return at 6pm and awards will start promptly at 6:30pm

All projects need to be collected at the end of the Awards Ceremony

All research papers, journals and photos MUST BE GIVEN TO Mrs. Vasil (6th-8th) and Mr. Puzio (5th grade)

Judges will score on :

Display board rubric

Scientific Method components:

Problem Question Hypothesis. Materials. Procedure. Data Graph Results and Conclusion

Please note: through the guidance of myself and Mr. Puzio, we made it very clear that all Projects needed to be testable and not just a model. If it is only a model, with no proper data or graphing , points will be deducted.

and finally

Experiment

All of these components with judging will also be used for grading.

I would like to thank Mrs. Canal, Ms. Klein, Mrs. Miles, Mr. Kozemba and Ms. Ferrara for all the hard work in assisting and guiding the students these past few weeks. Without their commitment in assuring all student’s information and the components accuracy, this Science Fair would not be possible.

It’s that time again… summer is swiftly approaching and you need to think of Camp!!!

Below is the 2024 Art Camp flyer and the 2024 Pete Vasil Basketball camp flyer.

You can either print out and return or email me

Don’t wait for the last minute to register 🙂

permission slip 2

Parents please be advised that I have warned, lectured and preached to the children about today being the last day to submit any late work, even though the trimester ended on Friday.

I give every class and student time to complete work during class so this is really unacceptable and honestly, disrespectful to me as a teacher and you as a parent.

I am beyond frustrated over this and was hoping the students that are still missing work would have submitted their work after this weekend.

Please check Powerschool so you are not surprised when you see “0”s and “I”s on their report card.

My apologies if this sounds harsh but as I am sure you are pleading with your child to complete work, so am I.

Again, not every child is guilty of this but there are a good handful in the upper grades.

Thank you for your support on this matter and hoping next Trimester will bring a more positive ending.

Please send in Art club fee , $25…

If your child has not paid after this week , they will be sent to aftercare.

Ms. Klein and I purchase materials and cannot keep supplying them without payment.

6th grade will be going to the book fair on Monday ,March 4th

The Science Fair is upon us!!!

Everyone should have chosen a Topic at this point and started their research.

Science fair will be the week of April 22nd

All work is done at home except the Display board, which will be done the week before.

Components of your Science Fair:

Research paper ( you must have works cited otherwise it will be counted as a ZERO) Wiki or Wikipedia is not allowed
Do not copy and paste
Minium pages : 3
font size 12
spacing no more than 1.5

Model: you may have help with a parent if there is building required
Pictures MUST be taken and presented with part of your fair display showing you and your group working on the model together ( can be a slide or actual mini album)

You must have an experiment that was conducted showing data collection (again pictures must be taken during the process)

Science Fair journal: it should be a small notebook with logs of the process from start to finish

Display Board: all components will be given at a later date and will be done in school ( you should have construction paper , glue sticks and any decoration you want available) We will provide the boards

2 weeks before you will be working with Mrs. Canal and Ms. Klein on the research and parts of the board information

For reference: Go on google classroom to find information and guidelines for each phase of the Science Fair (you do not have to print or hand those in. They serve as a reference

I would like to extend a big Thank You to The Bordamonte’s for their thoughtfulness . Yesterday the food for the children was greatly appreciated as well as today, for the Faculty and Staff. Your generosity touched all of us 🙂

Also a big thank you to Mrs. Tramontozzi, the homemade treat was delightful and the gift for the entire faculty was really touching.

Thank you to all the families that thought of us while we celebrated Catholic Schools Week.

Tomorrow is a free dress down
In the afternoon, we will have some treats and watch a movie. Feel free to bring in board games too 🙂

5-8th grade make up dates for the 2 missed sessions will be next Thursday and Wednesday, February 7th.

We are planning to enter their work in an Art contest that Ms. Ferrara gave forms to the children about. Further information will be posted

February fees are due.

Please keep in mind, the fee goes towards the purchase of Art materials, from paint, canvases, clay, etc. There were several students who did not submit for January. Ms.Klein and I are having a difficult time when this happens, since we need to purchase enough material for each student.

Moving forward, if the fee is not paid by the 2nd session of each month, they will not be able to attend until it is submitted.

Again, either Venmo @Angela-Vasil or cash with the child’s name on the envelope.

Thank you

Parents and students,

This year our Science Fair will be on April 23, 2024

I have included all the sheets on google classroom.

Each week Mr. Puzio and I will inform the students which sheets are due. They do not have to be printed out, they may right the information in their Science Notebooks.

You either can work alone or with a partner. The biggest group will only be 4, no more.
Follow each step with your partner/s and submit what is due for each week on GC. I will not be accepting anything handed in
This week and next week:
Select a Topic
Develop a question
Reflect
And Start “Research the topic” (this is not due this week)
A final report will be assigned for this as well, I will go over that later
YOU MUST RUN THE TOPIC BY ME THAT YOU HAVE NARROWED DOWN TO… I HAVE TO APPROVE IT FIRST

This year I am requiring all groups to have a mini photo album of the process. Pictures should be them working on the model, experiment, etc. It can either be as a slide presentation or a physical photo album.

When we get closer to the date, the Display boards will be worked on in School, not at home… No exceptions.

Everything else will be done at home: model, experiment and research.

Map testing will be conducted tomorrow for 6th grade.
Please make sure your child is on time since we will start promptly after mirning assembly
