Desks provide room for more than just books Upon our arrival the first day of school, we each received our own desks and proudly put in our shiny new notebooks and brightly colored pencils. Then our teacher passed out all of our big, bulky books, and we placed them neatly in our desks. Recesses came and went, but not without an occasional sparkly rock or colorful leaf added to our growing collection of paraphernalia in our desks. Vacations went by and new discoveries came with us back to school to be used at show-and- tell and then to be stuffed in our already clut¬ tered desks. Along with sunny spring days and sandals come the ending pages of our books. On the last day of school, teachers collect the worn books and we begin the task of cleaning out our messy desks. As the battered notebooks and stubby pencils reappear from our once-tidy desks, shouts of joy and screams of surprise fill the room. A lost library book, old papers, and crunched leaves are found along with forgotten rocks and pictures. Happy smiles transform faces as we find what has accum¬ ulated over the past nine months of school. Those socks never seem to stay up! Ann Marie Nussbaum takes time out from her busy schedule to make major repairs.

My favorite time is recess, when all of us go outside and play! We all love to swing and play hopscotch. Monkey-bars are ideal places to turn sommersaults or just hang upside down, looking at a topsy-turvy playground. Sometimes, the boys form teams and play kick- ball while the girls jump rope. Othertimes. both the boys and the girls play tag together. In the winter, if there is snow on the ground, we make snowmen or have snow battles. But when the snow melts the pavement can get all slushy. Spring is my favorite season for recesses. With¬ out our bulky coats it ' s lots easier to run and play. Once in a while, it ' s fun to mess in mud puddles, too! A bandaged hand doesn ' t stop Danny Elzey as he and Greg Little experiment with their tank. First graders combine fun with learning when Mrs. Sprunger shows them how the post office is run.
