GRADE ACTIVITIES Twelve first graders and ten second graders began school this year. Gayle Frederickson left us in December, and we welcomed Craig Rehnstrom in March. To be good readers is the goal for all in these grades. It has been fun to 'dramatize stories, both with live characters and puppets. It has been surprising to discover how much we learn about number facts, science all around us, health rules, social studies, and writings. October was out month to be on the program for Community Meeting. Also, we sang in the choir for the Christmas program. Front row: Steven Quirk.

We are re-'acquainted with Dick, Jane, and Sally, and learn to read real stories about them. Meeting some of their friends proves interesting toward the end of the year. Everyone likes reading class and by the end of the year, We are amazed at the long list of words we can recognize. Our phonics helps us to sound out words for ourselves and We make large consonant charts. In numbers we begin with concepts of many and fewg next the groupings of addition are learn- ed, measurement, money, and time telling are also encountered. In the spring we grow our own garden, talk about different phases of weather, and take a field trip to highlight our unit on birds. Vxfe especially enjoy Halloween, Christmas, and Valentines Day as we have special parties on these days.
