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

GRiLDE THREE NFWS - l ffiS. BRUCE Mrs. Bruce ' s class has been working with an S.R.A. Reading Lab. This gives extra reading skills so that the child moves at his own rate in reading. It is not used in place of the readers, but with them. A special part of the Lab. is the Listening Pro- gramme. This is used to improve the listening habits of the child- ren. Pupils keep records of their progress on charts and graphs. They have to be sure and keep their own records. The teacher helps the children when help is needed, but they have to do most of the work on their own. She also discusses their progress with them. The S.R.A. Reading Lab. is set up in Grade three, so that each child may read the things that he is most interested in. These ■stories are called power builders. As each child finishes the stories in his level, he can move on to the next level. The pupils in this class are doing more than reading. In their Science classes, they are talking about Nature. The class has been divided into three different groups, and Mrs. Bruce is taking each group to different Nature trails in the area. They are certainly having an interesting year. Tommy Grouch
