Efiedf' We liked the free activity period the best. Wesebuld draw, color, play with our toys, or anything else we enjoyed doing. At the first of the year ve didn't have any consid- eration for our classmates, but as time passed we developed a liking and learned to ploy and work with each ether. ' We had several special units such ns: the grocery store, the circus, the airport and the postofflee. One day we took n trip to the city post office, and saw all the boxes and where our mail is sorted. Our reading was made interesting by stories, personal, and group experiences, labels, games, and our teacher drew pictures on our seatwork which we vere allowed to color. Af- ter going through our workbookNEefore We Rerdn we read in the ' first Pre-primer We Look and See. 'V-JL: new have a vocabulary of 50 or more verde.

FIRST GRADE We do manuscript writing in first grade. We can print our ABC's, our names, and all the words that we've had in reading. In Numbers we have learned to count and write by ones to one-hundred, by fives to one-hundred, by tens to one-hun- dred, and by twos to one-hundred. We also learned our addi- tion combinations through 5 plus 9. Art has many interesting phases. We don't go out af the line when we color. We try to make it as neat as we can. Drawing and cutting are a lot of fun. We like to see how well we can draw and out things out free hand. Sharon Lee Long and Nancy Brown are especially outstanding in Art. Units made our studies more interesting. When wc read about transportation, we brought all kinds of transportation that we had. Toy cars, trucks, horses, wagons, etc. Pic- tures were drawn to illustrate the different ways of travel- ing. In our grocery store unit we brought boxes, cans and bread wrappers which we stuffed with paper to make it look like a loaf of bread. One pupil brought paper money and we learned how to count money and make change. It was great fun to play store. .One day We read a story about the farm and we decided to make a farm in Art class, so we gathered together all the cardboard we had and divided ourselves into groups. One group made the barn and silog one group a houseg one group a shedg one group pictures of a garden, oats, corn, and wheat, and another group made the fences. Someone brought a toy truck, car and a wheel-barrow. Toy animals were made to put in the poster. ' Our last large activity of the y ar was a Victory Gar- den. We used an oblong sand box. The boys brought soil to put in the box and the girls brought seed to sow, We had sweet corn, radishes, lettuce, 27. carrots, Swiss Chard, beets, 5ZQpi?5 zinnias and sweet peas. These ' J B 9 were planted in V-shape rows. qQ'5'ifH , l,ijj:2 Outside of our Victory Qarden, tgi 'WL6 Qizigggfgym in tin cans, we planted field f4QmQZjJ5jU' Epzflwkr! corn, sweet corn, potatoes, beans, and oats.

Grade school music can be divided into 5 phases: Cll Roto Singing, .which comprises songs of the vfmrirus son- sons, of home and community life, of holidays, of school, and the folk songs of many countries, helps the child to acquire the use of his natural voice. C25 Sight Singing has its basis in rote sing1ng,but through the use of syllables in reading and observation songs, en- ables the child to sing s number from notation without first having to hear the tune. , I feb Rhythmic Activities are carried out in order to give children better muscular coordination, and at the same time A- develop the sense of I ....., Egg ,KMQZZ rhythm.
