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

Whether they did or not, third graders stud- ied monsters from our past and present. Keeping in touch with the present they created masks which were displayed on the bulletin board. They also elected class of- ficers to govern their procedures. Fourth graders kept in touch by studying famous historical figures and then conducting plays about these ancestors. Much time was spent mastering multiplication ta- bles. Eligibility in 4-H came with the fourth grade and they eagerly became active 4-H members. 14 — 3rd grade
