Elemental' The word elementary simply means the begin- ning, first stages, or principal of anything. As we look at this definition, we find that our elementary schooling is the beginning of our education. Therefore, our elementary years are some of the most important years of our lives, as we learn the basic techniques of reading, Writing, and arithmetic. We will use these techniques to build on throughout our lives. Going from kindergarten to sixth grade is quite a step in our lives. We start off learn- ing to share and take care of ourselves. Then we learn facts about such things as the ABC's and numbers. Later we are taught to think log- ically using the simple facts we have learned. Finally, we learn to be creative in using our knowledge. We learn to recognize and print the letters and the words they make. Then we learn to write and comprehend what we read. By our fifth and sixth grade years we strive for per- fection in the basics and are moving on to learn about our country's history as well as why the earth is round. Grade School is a growing time for each of us, mentally and physically. We look forward to our next year of learning.
