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.

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

Teachers say ... “Lives of Students Have Changed!’’ Brian Feistner, a sophomore biology student, glues his leaves for a leaf project. This year 41 classes were taught by 11 teachers at Woonsocket High. The variety of subjects stretched from Spanish to pJantiife to constructions of geometric figures. Teachers and students worked to- gether on annual staff, drama pro- ductions, swing choir and other musical presentations, and the sport teams. The teachers were asked to reflect to their high school days and tell what they feel has changed from then to now. Mr. Peterson conclud- ed that there are more activities outside the classroom and students are involved in more than one of these activities. Most students today, says Mrs. Kraft, “are less interested in the educational aspect of school. School is now a place to meet friends and have a good time. Students are less motivated by grades. Mrs. Larson states, Students are apathetic. They lack enthusiasm, de- sire, and fun when it comes to ex- pected tasks. She also feels that stu- dents want to by-pass youth for the joys of adulthood when these are years and opportunities that will never return. Mrs. Pischke says that ten years ago a student would have never talked back to a teacher or the principal. Mr. Andree proclaims students to- day do not have to work as hard as he did to get ahead. r%'- il L (I il 111 « 1 S Shop III class conslrucled this calf shelter the first part of the
