First and Second Grade Activities An exciting day was had when the Alta first graders began their pre- primers. The boys and girls learned many words throughout the year. - - They enjoyed reading about the experiences of Dick, Jane, and Sally. .5 The first grade developed readiness for the general use of numbers and the number system in their number work. They also learned the basic number facts, measuring, and the use of money. The first step in writing was learning the correct formation of each letter. The second step was forming words and sentences. The last step was writing stories. Look and Learn was the title of our science book. The units we discussed were plants, animals, machines, seasons, and months. Our social studies work was centered around the family and the school. Arithmetic, reading, spelling, language, social studies and science plus art, music, and physical education keeps the Fairview second graders very busy this year. Now that we have added cursive writing the second semes- ter we feel that we are growing up fast. Science is fun this year. We especially enjoyed the imit on "Earth and Universe." Experimenting wit.h magnets has also proven very interesting. In arithmetic the basic number ideas are learned by a sequence of pic- tures so that we can imagine the action and eventually learn the symbols. In November we enjoyed presenting the playlet, "The Fairy Bookshelf," at Community Night in observance of National Book Week. We also took part in the Christmas program in December.

Second Grade Activities Fifty-seven Alta second graders have enjoyed a most interesting and enjoyable year. Reading and phonics have helped them develop their structural and phonetic analysis, and improve their ability in in- dependent reading. In arithmetic we learn to add, subtract, and mul- tiply numbers to twenty. We also study measures, money, telling time, shapes, how to build to tens, and rational and ordinal counting. An eventful experience is changing from manu- script to cursive writing. Social studies, health, science, spelling, language, music, physical education and art help "round out" the second grade curriculum. The highlight of the year was our train ride to Cherokee, and a trip through the Planetarium. Third Grade Activities The Alta third grade has an enrollment of twenty- two girls and eighteen boys. The highlights of our year have been trips to the dairy farm, grocery store, creamery, and newspaper office. These trips have helped to enrich our learning experiences in social studies. Arithmetic has been very challenging. We have learned to multiply and divide and have enjoyed practicing these processes through the use of flash card contests. Various plays and stories were drama- tized throughout the year the part of our reading ac- tivities. Several times during the year the entire class has received treats because they all got a perfect score in spelling tests. Language was enlightened through the use of the telezonia kit which was provided by the Bell Telephone Company. We enjoyed our Halloween, Christmas, and Valen- tine parties. Each of us took our turn serving and plan- ning for one of the parties held during the year. The room mothers who assisted us this year for various ac- tivities were: Mrs. Jack Disscher, Mrs. Dick Adams, Mrs. Robert Magnuson, and Mrs. Eugene Quirk. 1 5 FRONT ROW: Kathleen Parker, Cheryl Hartmann, Julie Grienke, Randall Ericksen, Bar- bara Peterson, Miss Prieg-nitz, Donna Lee, Joan Becker, Karen Goosmann, Stevan Quirk, Gary Sassman.
