Students in Kindergarten through Grade Three produce copybooks that provide on-going practice for handwriting, spelling, grammar, etc. These copybooks are kept specifically for copying noteworthy poems, prose, quotes, historical facts and information, etc., that touch on the theme being studied by the class. In Grades Four through Six students produce Books of the Centuries in which they express their understanding of the historical periods they have been studying. Included in the Books of the Centuries would be students' narrations of research they have done on the historical period. The disciplines of literature, geography, science, and language arts find their way into the Books of Centuries. Copybooks and Books of Centuries are student productions by which the teacher assesses students' assimilation of knowledge.
