| The dodo bird |
The third and fourth graders recently completed a month long research project that culminated with a school-wide parade. After selecting a topic that they found interesting, each student came up with some questions that they would research. They learned that all research begins with basic questions, and they were able to use their understanding of the Dewey Decimal System and note-taking to start their projects.

Each student came up with a two paragraph essay outlining basic facts, life cycles and adaptations (the third graders looked into animals while the fourth graders focused on Ohio history). Some of the topics covered were caecilians, giraffes, walking sticks, snakes and sharks. The fourth graders explored Ohio history and covered the Dayton Flood of 1913, Annie Oakley, the history of Oakwood, and the Underground Railroad.
The students marched around the school while to Sousa's Washington Post March and presented their work to a very interested crowd. The kindergarteners, first and second graders tested the older students' knowledge with intelligent questions.
