WHAT IS THE LEARNING FAIR?
Birchwood's Learning Fair, held periodically, provides an opportunity for students to pursue a particular area of interest and share this learning with others. Students may choose to work on their presentations independently, with classmates, friends or family. All work on these activities takes place outside of school. Parents provide encouragement and support to their children in developing and presenting their projects.

To accomplish their learning, students are encouraged to:

  • Decide on a question, problem or creative endeavor to explore
  • Gather necessary information and materials
  • Organize and analyze it to answer the question
  • Decide on a solution or conclusion or answer
  • Plan and prepare a method to display the learning or share your creative work

Ways of sharing include: models, mobiles, graphs, charts, dioramas, slides, videos, computers, tapes, photographs, posters, reports.

Project topics can be from from all disciplines including, Social Studies, Science, Math, Language, Art, Music, Travel Experiences, Hobbies, Sports or any additional areas.
