Arithmetic can be fun, especially with the new first grade teacher, Mrs. Suzanne Moyer. In this picture, she is explaining the numbers system to Connie Dunaway. In addition to arithmetic, first graders learn reading, printing, art, and music. One good part of the day is recess while lunch-time is also very enjoyable. From Teachers ' Aide Second grade students learn about the month of January through a bulletin board display erected by their teacher, Mrs. Thelma Mertz. One subject that intrigues second- graders is writing. At the middle of the school year, they learn how to write and no longer have to print. They also study their lessons in a harder and more complex way than they did in the first grade.
