Miss Faye Perry taught music in the first grade again this year. She came into the first grade each day for a 20-minute period while Miss Satterlee taught reading in the third grade. The following boys and girls have en- tered our grade from other schools during the year: Alex Gall, Mabel Graham, Dane Crawford and Billy Thorn. An attractive addition has been made to the playground this year-a large sandpile of several tons of sand, and some new teeter- boards. We wish to thank Mr. Bissell, thc janitor, for seeing to these improvements. oo-0-0000-vo-0 0-Q-Q4-Q4-9-00444-ro-vo-o-Q-0-vo44-Q+Q+o eo-o+q44+Q -o-0+-o++o-Q-A Q There has been an average number of 17 boys and girls who carried their lunches to school this winter. The majority of these pupils brought milk to drink with their lunches. The use of straws greatly increased this number. Among the projects that we carried out this year were a dry goods store, Eskimo picture show, shadow plays, several sand table projects and a village constructed mainly from construction paper. The health work for the year has cen- tered around the ten main rules of health. These rules have been brought before the children by the use of stories, plays, posters, health books made by the children, daily in- spection and health charts which were taken home, marked and brought back to school.

Martin of the Andover school began to cash in on his plans for a school band, by receiv- ing the backing of the school board and the aid of the community. They were able to secure the services of Mr. George E. Wahl- strom, the director of music in Ashtabula Harbor school. . The high school band was first made up of our whole music class, including stringed and wind instruments. This group made one public appearance during the first year. O-0-0-O-O-0 The following fall in '27 Director George E. Wahlstrom was unable to resume his classes here. He recommended Mr. Chas. Luoma of Warren, Ohio, who has had chargc of the instrumental music classes this year. Mr. Luoma has made great progress with his pupils and has enabled them to render several public appearances, which met with very favorable comment. Our uniforms were selected by a commit- tee of the Chamber of Commerce. The uni- forms consisted of circular capes with mili- ffloncluded on Page 163 O-O-OC PAGE 14

.,-Q-0-Q-Q them to the teacher. Then on Fridays these stories were read to the group instead of having our regular reading class. In our arithmetic class We have used My Work Book in Arithmetic, by Myers. The first of the book took up simple number work with pictures to draw and color. Then came the addition combinations With thought problems and tests. These were followed by the subtraction combinations with their thought problems and tests. To go with our books each had a complete set of cards for both the addition and subtraction facts. Be- sides the work covered in the arithmetic work books we have learned to add, using the carry , to multiply by 2's and 3's, and also to divide by 2's and 3's. The work in mul- tiplication was preceeded by counting as far as 100 by both 2's and 3's. We have also learned the Roman numerals to 50, which was followed by learning to tell the time of day. Along with our music work we organized a toy orchestra, so that we might learn a little about rhythm work. First we kept time to music played by the victrola. by clapping and marching. Later the children brought whatever toy instru- ments they had at home. With these we kept time to music played by the victrola. Homer Reeder, James Hatton, Billy Dudgeon, Olive Goldie Cline played the drumsg Helen Scannell, Lois Jane Parsons, Beulah Hynes and Susie Turoci played tam- bourinesg Carl Pancost, Lucile Duff, Kathryn Hatton and Lyle McCormick played xylo- phonesg Claudine Luce, Lucille Fletcher played hornsg Barbara Luseberg, Beulah Carr, Lewis Fitch, William Smith and Carl Nelson played whistlesg Lois Butler played bellsg Marion French played the triangle, and Wayne Sawtelle played the fiexotone. Olaf Maki was the leader. We played sev- eral times for the first, third and fourth grades. After this work we took up some simple folk dances, such as I See You, Danish Greeting and The Shoemaker's Dance. We also learned a little rhythm play for Dick- ery, Dickery Dock. The Chi1dren's Polka and The Mountain March will complete this work. Our art work has been quite varied. We have colored many pictures, which included safety pictures, scenes, pictures for the holi- days and pictures of birds. Then We have had paper tearing and cutting of nursery rhymes, trees, also poster making, cutting of letters, cutting of fruits, vegetables and -Q-04-O-Q-004-0-0-40-Q-0-o44Q644Q466-960 O0 flowers. Weaving helped us to learn to meas- ure, for both the mats and the strips had to be measured accurately. Then followed the weaving of the mats in some design. Most of these were woven from dictation. We made butterfiy, squirrel and cat mats, besides some of other designs. Each month we made ap- propriate spelling books and blackboard bor- ders. In January we made Eskimo books which greatly helped us to understand more about the life of the Eskimos. At Christmas time we made doilies for our mothers and decorated handkerchief boxes for our fath- ers. For Mother's Day each of us made a pink and a white carnation. These We put in decorated cans for our mothers. This year our playground has been equipped with a sandpile. It certainly has been a source of great pleasure for us. Our janitor, Mr. Bissell, has also made some new teeterboards for us. Of course we enjoy them, too. As part of the entertainment for Educa- tion Week the second grade read and drama- tized a story from the Beacon Introductory Second Reader. This story was read and played as we would in our own room. Dur- ing Farmer's Institute we gave a demonstra- tion of organized play on the gymnasium floor. We played a relay race with bean bags. This race was followed by two games with the basketball. Then as a last game we played Follow the Leader. Several times we had the banner for the cleanest room for the week. Each time we were entitled to an extra half-hour play period. We had several of these in the manual training room and in the gymnasium. Then we saved two and took a little field trip back of the new cemetery for pussy willows. We found a few pussy willows and everyone had a handful of wintergreens. We had a very enjoyable trip. Lois Jane Parson and Susie Turoci cele- brated their birthdays in school with birth- day parties. They each brought their cakes and candles were put on and lighted. Every- one greatly enjoyed the parties. Lona Miller, Teacher.
