Boys and girls got to mix and mingle as they worked and played. Books, learning games, and taped stories were available for the students to use when they completed their daily work The children were used to going to different areas when they worked in groups or with different teachers. Science, health, social studies, and seasonal activities were incorporated into the basic skills areas of language arts and math. They learned to measure when they made kites. They read and wrote about good nutrition. Some wrote reports about transportation and magnetism. They even made snowflakes. t • Shonda White Tina Denise Wood Tina Lynn Wood Tina Wood Robert Woods Jason Works Michael Yates

Holli Mollis, and Brad Smith make their Hal- loween parade through the school- Children Learn by Doing Children learn by doing, and for this reason the first grade teachers set up in their rooms several centers where materials were provided for the children to discover more about many of the important concepts they were taught in first grade. In Mrs. Reid ' s room there were an aquarium and a few gerbils for the first graders to watch, learn about, and sign out for weekends in their homes. Through science, first graders learned much about the world around them. These youngsters had many fun experi- ences wearing costumes in plays and parades. At Halloween every first grader dressed up into whatever he or she wanted to be, and then they all paraded around the school grounds and in the halls. Pumpkins, goblins, witches, monsters, and butterflies of all kinds roamed Oneonta School that day. They gained even more new experiences through murals, puppet shows, skits, games, and plays.
