GRADES ONE MD TM NEWS - MBS. HUSTON Roora three has had a very busy year. On a cold day in February, all of the children set out for the Superior Food Market and had a very interesting time touring the store. Mr. Seed met them at the door and they went on a guided tour of all the different food departments. All of the children were fascinated by the noisy, but interesting meat cutter. Returning from the supermarket, the children set up their own food store. The mothers of the children sent different kinds of food for their shelves. The children tried to hurry Spring along by setting up a display of Spring in their classroom and in the hall, but it didn ' t help any - Spring still wouldn ' t come. Besides setting up a display on Spring, the children put up a land of Fairy Tale. They really had to use their ima- ginations on that one. ' The classroom is set up into four different areas. One is for Science, one for Arithmetic, one for Library and one for Art. In each of these corners, the children can work quietly at what they like best. So you can see - these children are really busy. ' Joanne Garbutt I

GRADE ONE NEWS - MRS. UKZMAJER . ' HH These are some of the questions I asked Mrs. Linzmajer. When I asked her, she was very nice in answering. I asked her what kind of work they did in class, and she said the children were doing Numberwork, Reading, Science and Social Studies. They are also learning how to print and make their own stories. They are reading a special type of book called the Readers ' Digest Beginning Books. The children enjoy the stories in them very much. Mrs. Linzmajer ' s class put on the Easter Assembly for the school, which everyone enjoyed. They did a play about Walpole the Rabbit, where the rabbit could only talk when his ears could flap around. His flapping ears saved his whole family from the terrible wolf and they all went and delivered their Easter eggs to everybody. Altogether, there are 33 children in the Grade one class - 13 girls and 20 boys. I asked her if she had taken her class on a trip yet, and she said they hadn ' t gone anywhere so far, but they hope to go on a trip soon.

GRADE TWO NEWS - MISS WARD On Friday, November 17? Miss Ward ' s class visited the Strathroy Public Library. Mrs. Feenstra and Mrs. Amel went with the class. Although it was cold, there was no snow on the ground and they enjoyed their walk. At the library, Miss Thompson met the class and showed them where to hang up their coats. Then she showed them where the different books could be found in the children ' s section of the library. The children ha.d many questions about the carving in Miss Thompson ' s office and the ship ' s bell in the storage room. They discovered that many newspapers and magazines are kept in the store room. They toured the other small rooms in the building and in the auditorium they purchased old library books. Some children bought their first library card to borrov books from the library. Before they left. Miss Thompson took their picture on the lawn in front of the library. They sent paintings of their trip and letters thanking Miss Thompson for the trip. Some of the paintings and letters were put in the display case at the library. Alma Calcutt
