July 14, 2009 - The students in Mrs. Mahan's A.M. Kindergarten class recently received the opportunity to conduct research projects on a topic of their choosing. The entire project took nearly two months, but the results were simply fascinating.

Jeremy Wernick (left) decided to research roller coasters, and even brought in a track to help illustrate his points. Fellow classmate Isabella Tronco (right) focused on fashion and how to design your own dress. The class worked on their projects at home and presented them to their classmates at the end of the school year.

The purpose of these projects was to teach research skills and to challenge the students. It also was to encourage further knowledge in areas that interest them.
