Fourth graders participate in quarterly independent research projects. Topics are of their choosing (pending teacher approval), and the rubric and sharing of research advance with each quarter. Students can choose four different topics, or stay with one topic all year. The sites below are certified kid safe, and use technology to filter searches. When researching topics of interest, students have a responsibility to remain within these safe parameters set by the instructors, and to report any issues immediately. No other search engines are approved or permitted.
