They did a newspaper unit in English where they studied the aspects of the newspaper then had to make a newspaper booklet of their own. These sixth graders also had a chance to write their own commercials and act them out. In social studies, Latin America and Canada were studied in which several projects were done. Picture at right: You were off key!

After the booklet was finished they designed their own cover. Rocks and minerals were studied in science. In social studies, they did a unit on lowa History. When they completed the unit, a program called “Alice in lowaland”’ was presented to the community. Candy bars were sold as a fund raiser to help pay their way to Des Moines to see the state capitol and the sci- ence planetarium. At right: Must be an interesting lecture.

ALICE IN IOWALAND The Cherrie Sisters! Czech dancers! For the past three years the fifth graders have put on an lowa History play after study- ing for eighteen weeks on lowa’s history. Mrs. Rife writes and directs the play while the cho- ral and music directing are done by Mrs. Christian and Mrs. Jenson. The play is done in three dimensions: choral reading, singing, and acting on the stage. This year’s play was based on a dream. A lit- tle girl, Alice, went to sleep and the dream fairy took her on a trip through the lowa History book. Her trip took her to such things as the meeting between the Indians, Joliet and Mar- quette, to the abolishment of slavery, to a one- room school, to a circus, and to a trip to the lowa State capitol building. Preparation for the play starts when the fifth graders start their lowa history unit. Mrs. Rife begins her research and writing. Six weeks before the play is given, practice starts, and Mrs. Harrington's art classes begin to build the props and background scenery. The stu- dents had to memorize their parts and learn how to help change the props with every scene. This year’s play, ‘‘Alice in lowaland, ’ was presented on April 22, at 7:30 p.m. in the Mechanicsville gym. The students thought their program went real well, was lots of fun, and they had learned a lot about lowa’s his- tory On April 24, the students took a trip to Des Moines to visit the state capitol, legislature, museum, and science building. The fifth grad- ers sold candy bars to help finance their trip.
