GRADES ONE AND TWO
I We are glad for our fine gymna
sium on these cold snowy days,
j We enjoy our games or free play
at recess time and like to end re
! cess with races, running, skipping
j or hopping. Carolyn Beltz and Na
| poleon Bergamaschi win the most
races.
After recesses our teacher reads
to us. We have especially enjoyed
this week “Little Eskimo” written
bv Miss Logan and tne children
of the first grade at the native
school.
Chuckie Snyder has been ab
sent because of a cold.
Birthdays are always big events.
Robert Dunbar celebrated his
eighth one this week.
GRADES THREE AND FOUR
Many of the children have been
having bad colds. Carl, LeRoy,
Sylvia and Karen were absent
several days because of illness.
The fourth grade is beginning
a new reading book. In geography
they are beginning a study of the
Amazon basin.
GRADE FIVE
We have a new reader “Let’s
Travel On,” which is very inter
esting. The workbook used with j
it has some interesting stories and
exercises also. We just finished
reading about a tame bear, who j
could do many tricks.
Our history lesson was about i
Theodore Roosevelt, telling about
his having been one of our fore-!
most citizens. We enjoy our his-!
tory books because the most in
teresting accounts read like sto-1
ries.
Our Washington shields are on
our front board border. They are i
[ in red, white and blue with sil
i houettes of Washington in black
I placed on them.
