• visit the library on a flexible schedule for lessons that coordinate with their curricular studies in the classroom.

• continue to practice solving problems and conducting research by identifying their information needs, locating and evaluating appropriate print and non-print materials and determining and using relevant information in an ethical manner.

• cite sources using the GPS Grades 4 & 5 Works Cited List.

• locate books for genre studies on Fantasy and Realistic Fiction, with an emphasis on reading the Connecticut Nutmeg titles and participating in the annual vote for the winner of the Nutmeg award.
