Science Day

Science Day gives 4th grade students at Millington School the opportunity to work in teams to plan, complete and display the results of a science experiment.  The chairperson, working with a teacher representative, must organize the day's activities.  They also arrange for volunteers to assist prior to and on the day of the event.  A science program by an outside vendor may be planned for the afternoon. 

Make-A- Book

The Make-A-Book project for the 4th grade students is a half-day event designed to correspond with National Book Week.  It is usually held during the third week of November and is coordinated with the librarian.  The students make a plain paper book that can be used for sketches or as a journal.  The chairperson is responsible for contacting a local frame shop to collect scraps of matte board necessary for the project and for ordering all necessary supplies.  The chairperson must also organize and train class volunteers, create book labels, and communicate information about the program.  All volunteers must pre-sew the pages of the book, cut the matte boards to size, and assist students on the day of the event.
