SCIENCE FAIR UPDATES: First the SCIENCE FAIR date has been changed because of conflicts with testing and much more. So our date is now May 12 a Friday! Second-- this week on Thursday and Friday, packets will go home to all students. These will include the registration to be a participant in the Science Fair. These registrations are due on March 29. The packet will also include the opportunity for all Northwoods students to design a logo around our theme for this Science Fair which is Science Rocks. The winning logo will appear on T-shirts that will be given to every student who registers to be part of the Science Fair and all adults who are assisting in bringing this science fair together for our school. Additional logos, that are honorable mentions, will be displayed as posters. Months prior to Our Science Fair, we will feature: The Mighty Science Quiz (3-4 Wednesdays in April where kids have been given a topic and information through this newsletter including links to videos about the topic. All they have to do is watch and read and then answer some questions each Wednesday about that weeks topic and they can win a prize for correctly answering the quiz). We have done this in the past. T-Shirt and Poster design contest (already explained above) Predictable Science Trivia contest (late April or early May for one week. Kids can pick up the trivia questions and find the answers in the library or online and if they are correct, they win a prize). People in science- we hope to share a few times a week, names and faces of people from the past who influenced science or scientific discovery and ones who currently are making discoveries in many areas of the world of science. This will be shared in the classroom. Dress like a scientist? TBD AND THEN THERE IS THE SCIENCE FAIR MAY 12 If you have questions or would like to help with some aspect of the Fair, please contact me Laurie Erdman at lerdman@ecasd.us or call 715-852-4107

Thank you to all the volunteers: Gina Kittilstad, Heather Market-Sullivan, Jessica Klesmit, Amanda Binczak, Michelle Lavoll, Kirsten Wagner, Tanya Kistner, Jessica Schinke, Billie Hays, Katie Meerza, Heather Brick, Brooke Christianson, Kristin Morosky, Stephanie Bauer, Chris Reedy, Amanda Griffin.

In addition, the book fair gave out: lots of prizes at our sucker pull tree, lots of books to teachers, and a whole cart of books for the library. We hope everyone is enjoying all their new books!!! :) PARENTS OF 5 TH GRADERS ATTENTION This message was received the following from Andrew Holle, 6th Grade Teacher - Northstar Middle School 7th/8th Grade Track Coach - Northstar Middle School and J.V. Boys Basketball Coach - North High School Staff at Northstar are looking for incoming 6th grade parent volunteers for a Fall trip to Camp Manitou. Some parents are needed for staying overnight in a cabin with students while others are needed to help with food preparation. Because of our need to get background checks done for all parents who are willing to volunteer, Northstar is looking to start this process now and not wait until September when the Board office becomes swamped with background check requests. This is a fun opportunity to do something with your 6 th grader at a wonderful setting. If you are interested in helping out, please contact me by replying to this email or calling me at 715-852-4107. CHESS CLUB 2017

Although there is no 'magic number' as individual sleep needs vary, the CDC recommends that people time their sleep requirements according to the following chart. These estimates should put you in a ballpark range of whether or not you're getting enough sleep. http://www.policymic.com/articles/87653/here-s-a-surprising-look-at-what-sleep-deprivation-does-to-yourbody?utm_source=policymicfb&utm_medium=main&utm_campaign=social THE PTO PAGE MONK'S BAR AND GRILL NIGHT MONDAY-- 13 TH Come out and support Northwoods Elementary PTO Where: Monk s Bar & Grill 3560 Oakwood Mall Drive, Eau Claire 715-598-1820 When: Monday, March 13 th 4pm-10pm DAIRY QUEEN NIGHT FEBRUARY 28
