The creature in the jar was a caterpillar. Hanging on the elementary wall were pictures of second grade pu- pils. Most were not easy to rec- ognize because these were self- portraits. Some drew themselves the way they wanted to be. Combined first second grade spent a lot of time clock watching attempting to read those dials and know the correct time. As an ex- tension and reinforcement of learning measurements, they made gingerbread men from scratch. Special items for Christmas in- cluded a play, making Christmas tree decorations and compiling a cookbook for their moms. Ryan Newberry on vacation. 12 — First Second grade

Ginny, “I like to read the library books and draw pictures.” Christie, “1 like to write and play and do painting.” Ashley, ‘‘I like gym and doing papers.” Girls were in a minority with a ratio of almost 1 to 4. The number of students kept climbing until there were 25 little ones. Mrs. June Miller’s class was busy preparing bulletin boards of fall scenes. As they completed a reading book, they drew figures from the book. Working on library skills, one student had this to say, “Mrs. Miller, 1 like it better here because we get to do so many things.” 1st grade — 11
