While the first grades learn letter sounds, the sec- ond grade stresses reading and phonics skills. Mrs. Karen Moe, 1-A first grade teacher, was joined by Mrs. Martha Patzlaff. Mrs. Moe’s class reads books for the Piz- za Hut Reading Program. The class has to read two books per student a month for four months. If they meet their goal, they will have a pizza party. Grade 1-B taught by Mrs. Patzlaff enjoys art, reading, and P.E. The students bring books that they have practiced, to read aloud to the class during story time. The students also enjoy workable bulletin boards. One of their favorites was “Mon- keying Around With Months”. Recess is, of course, a favorite time. Some things they do include swinging, hanging on the monkey bars, or playing duck, duck. goose. FIRST GRADE Back row: Seth Swenson. Trisha Gales. Tonya Moe. Dusty Feistner.

The second graders took a field trip to the post office, where they each mailed a letter that they had written in class. Mrs. Bindert’s class made corn people, studied about Eskimoes and made igloos from sugar cubes. Some of their favorite class games are money game, Who Has , and Matho , which is bingo, played by adding and subtracting. Miss Schmitt's class likes to play Go Around the World and Race . They en- joy puzzles, reading, and math activities to keep them busy during the school day. 21

Third And Fourth Grades Enjoy New Swings Mrs. Paula Schroeder's third grade glass has taken part in many activities this year. They’ve participated in the “Book It!” reading program sponsored by Pizza Hut, earned “funny bucks by completing different activities in which they can spend them on prizes, and made self-ad- vertising posters to point out their unique and special traits. Grade 3B, under the guided hand of Mrs. fudy Hinker, takes turns reading a story or book to the kindergarten classes. They also put on a play for the other class- rooms and parents. Both classes read about Hawaii and visited their teachers' homes for refresh- ments and games at the end of the year. Miss fill Johnson's fourth grade had a special year because of the division of classes. The boys in this class have an es- pecially fun time participating in football. The new swings, art, and recess times have entertained all. They have pen-pals in Hampton, III., and enjoy receiving letters all the time. Grade 4B, headed by first-year teacher, Mrs. Elizabeth VanLaecken, entertained their parents with a play about Thanks- giving and then served refreshments. To finish a unit on writing paragraphs in English, they interviewed Foster Grand- mothers from the Senior Citizens' Center and wrote a paragraph about them. They invited them back for a Valentine Tea where they played bingo and presented them with the paragraphs. They have pen-pals from Danville, III., and they also enjoy playing “baseball'' to review for science and social studies tests. THIRD GRADE Back row: Adam Eaton. Angela Tiede. Darin Baysinger.

Kindergarteners Study Sounds and Letters For the sixth year in a row, the kinder- garten class was divided into two groups. The A and B classes attended class on al- ternate days. Shelly Schlicht, who is a first year kin- dergarten teacher, worked with the 26 students on their shapes, colors, numbers (1-20J, letters, and sounds. They also started to read. The students took part in music and Phys- ical Education, which they enjoy. Another activity they have is nap time, which they don’t very much care for. The Kindergarten said that the holiday parties, learning new things, and finding new friends were the best parts of the year! Miss Schlicht was also cheerleading advi- sor for the varsity, junior varsity, and seventh and eight grade squads. KINDERGARTEN: GROUP A: Back row: Billy Podhradsky. Aric Boschee. Kristen Kilcoin.
