We read and discussed many of the books on the list and voted as well. The leading vote getter among Pioneer students was Bad Kitty, by Nick Bruel. There was a tie for second between Owen and Mzee, and If I Built a Car.

Fourth graders worked on some research basics, such as getting to know the web sites World Book Online, and Factmonster. Fourth graders also discovered that they have their own folder on our server and learned how to save work in it.

In fifth grade, we are working on a research project about a famous person. Our focus is on the research process, using the Big Six to help guide us through this project.
