B FAIRVIEW THIRD AND FOURTH GRADE ACTIVITIES The third and fourth grades had two teachers. Mrs. McMurray taught the first semester, and Mrs. Gould the second semester. Dari Holmes joined us in fourth grade in Decem- ber. Douglas Mattson entered as a new pupil in September. Steven Mallison and John Schuldt left us. For our part in the Community Meeting, we gave a Thanksgiving play in November. This was especially interesting to us because of pioneer read- ing units and our social studies of the colonies. The third grade wrote and presented a puppet show on a fire ranger's duty and dangers, during Fire Prevention Week. After Christmas the third graders worked on an Indian unit for social studies. The use of maps and globes has brought the world closer to us. The fourth graders experiences with these have been fun. rian Frederick, Paul Lietz, Dick Adolphson, Billy Anderson, Linda Cacek THIRD GRADE ACTIVITIES The third graders became more independent readers and the stories read came to life as they were dramatized. Along with the reading, the stu- dents learn to divide words into syllables, tell which syllable is accented in a word, and how to use prefix and suffixes. In English we studied writing good sentences, friendly letters, and learned good telephone man- ners. Arithmetic found them progressing rapidly as they learned to carry in addition, borrow in sub- traction, multiply and divide. Telling time, counting money, and working with measurements were also accomplished. Several field trips were taken throughout the year to increase interest in social studies.
