Venturing into Learning Being our first and second years of school, we experienced many new and different things. This year was the first time we ever heard of a Harvest Festival as we performed a Lollipops and Roses dance and dressed up as Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy. As kindergarteners, we became used to a new daily rou- tine. We did new and different things like making our own bulletin boards and drawing Halloween pic- tures. As first graders, we began to master our reading and math skills. Our room bulletin boards, which we created, displayed our abilities. These were the beginning years for us as we ventured into the many years of learning ahead of us.

Gypsies and Hoboes for a Night Practicing for a gypsy dance and being hoboes filled part of our time as we began getting ready to make our debut at the Harvest Festival. After the glamor of being stars for a night diminished, we came down to earth and began serious studying. We started a new form of writing and doing math as we explored the wonders of cursive writing and multiplication tables. We began to have new subjects we never had be- fore like English and Social Stud- ies. We were encouraged to practice and improve our writing skills and to study our multiplication tables. By doing this, we will be well pre- pared for the school years to come.
