Third and Fourth Grade Activities In the Fairview third grade arithmetic class the pupils learned the addition and subtraction facts, and learned how to carry and borrow with numbers. The fourth grade pupils learned their multiplication and division facts and worked with larger numbers in multiplying and dividing. Racing with flash cards and working at the blackboard seemed to be en- joyable and helpful to both grades. In third grade social studies class, we made a model tomm of Westport. Each student read a book and gave a report about Indians in preparation to making an Indian village. We also drew many pic- tures of the things that we studied in class. One of the projects made in the fourth grade was a Pueblo Indian village. After each unit was finished, the fourth graders drew a picture of the part they enjoyed most and wrote a short story about it. They also spent much time be- coming better acquainted with maps and rnap studies. In language art classes, both grades worked hard to be better readers, learned new words, their pronun- ciation and meaning, learned to divide words into syllables and to accent words, improved their ability to capitalize, punctuate, and spell. Making "A Good Food Train" using the seven basic foods was one of the third grade projects in science and health class. Other subjects that we had were music, art, and physical education.

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.

J experienced many new learning adventures. In . social studies we took a trip back to the time of Columbus to study the explorers who blazed trails for future pioneers. To make our journey more interest- - ' ing, we wrote and produced plays about some of -Y ' these men. To understand how electricity is generated, we visited the Iowa Public Service plant near Alta.
