ABOUT US

We are 6th grade students in Mr. Cover's reading class at Fox Meadow Intermediate Center. Our school is in Jonesboro, Arkansas.  As part of our reading program we are learning to use analytical and critical thinking skills to understand all types of non-fiction materials.  So, when we review a product, we first review news releases, advertising, packaging, manuals, and other written materials to see how the product is supposed to perform.  Then we test it to see how it does compared to our expectations based upon our reading.  This is a very fun and exciting process!  Once we have tested the product, teams of students work together to write a short synopsis of the findings.  Toward the end of the school year, we will use our new skills to analyze scholarship applications submitted to us by seniors in our school district. We will then award the ‘Sly Fox Scholarship’ to two seniors to help them go to college.  Now that is really smart…and cool! We believe we are getting smarter and having fun at the same time.  How smart is that!!!? Hope you find our work enjoyable and helpful!
