Kelly and Christian are working hard on their research reports now. They are both in the data gathering stage which has been going on for a couple of weeks and will continue through the end of next hear. Christian is doing a report on rockets and Kelly is doing a report on cats. We have been working on skills, tools, and techniques for report writing as much as on content for the last three years. The reports are getting better and better each year, so next year, we will start transitioning from tools and techniques to content with specific enough report topics to require additional library work. We might even try to do a little original research through interviews and or experiments. The kids will continue to be more and more responsible for their own proofreading and editing as well as layout and artwork. There work on Kaktus Kids has helped them tremendously in that area.
