The Fifth Grades visit the library by homeroom weekly. The Fifth Grade teachers also schedule visits to the library while students are working on classroom projects. By the fifth grade, the students are proficient in locating information in the library. Small groups of students are sent to the library during the school day to work on assignments by the classroom teachers. As special area scheduling permits, classes are scheduled by reading groups.
Instruction builds on skills developed on the previous level.
Students produce three research papers a year in cooperation with the library, computer lab, and the classroom.
