Third and fourth graders are taking part in collaborative research projects, working with Mrs. Downes and their classroom teacher, as well and their computer teacher. Third graders are working on Mass. Biographies and fourth graders on Inventions. The students are gathering information from print and electronic resources, taking notes, learning to cite their sources, writing on their topic, and creating a Bibliography. To complete their unit, students create a project using computer technology and doing oral presentations, through which they share their information.
Mrs. Magliozzi and Mrs. Downes were recently awarded a Grant from the Burlington Education Foundation to purchase sets of books with audio CD on many science topics, written at various levels of reading and comprehension. The grant application requested funds to purchase these materials for the four elementary school libraries.
Fifth graders at Fox Hill and Pine Glen Schools continue to read the nominees of the
