Rather shyly yet full of expectations and perhaps a little curious we set out on our journey of learning. We shared both joy and grief. Accidents did not pass us by. Many were the moments where a ‘cute remark’ or a broken-hearted little sob would rouse the class to unanimous sympathy or laughter. By Christmas we had accomplished quite a bit — so we thought. Reading was fun — especially with the new Canadian Reading Development Series introduced this year. Our Valentine Party proved most enjoyable. Then came Easter and with it Spring. How happy we were to put aside our scarves, heavy jackets and BOOTS. Grade One 35
