=Welcome Visitors! = ==This wiki has been created by elementary students in grades 2-5. We invite you to check out our research, keeping in mind that it is a work in progress. Some students have written Tall Tales, while others have tried their hands at [|R.A.F.T. Writing]. Each student has displayed their research and original writing on their own page, listed as cowboy names on the right side of this page. While you are on the home page, click on the tab at the top titled "Discussion". The students have offered their ideas and opinions to several questions about "The West". We hope that you learn more about this colorful and eventful time in our history: "The Wild, Wild, West!" We would love to hear your comments. You may leave them on the Visitor's page.==
