Research

Research is an important part of the third grade.  Research allows children to take control of their own learning and investigate topics that interest them.  I have included a research form to help the children organize their first projects.  This form is only an outline and can be altered to suit your child’s needs.  Please work with your child and support his/her efforts.  This project will be completed at home and at school.  It is recommended that their research be put in some type of binder.  Please make sure that it comes into school daily so that I may track their progress and offer assistance.  Good luck!

**Please do not have your child skip ahead to sections of the research that have not been introduced.
