Several girls and boys in Room 211 have brought birthday cakes for the class on their birthdays. February 23rd, Jack Gallon gave a patriotic party. Each child was given a red, white and blue hat and a balloon. They played games, had a balloon blowing con- test, and then pictures were taken while they were eating. The day before Thanksgiving vacation Miss Lillian and Miss Ruth's kindergarten invited their mothers and fathers to come and spend the morning in kindergarten. This was done to show them the different things they were learning. At Christmas time the children made presents for their mothers and fathers, be- sides decorating the tree and room. The first few weeks after vacation we were much interested in making a train, truck, and airplane, all could be used by several children at one time. Later most of us made Raggedy Anns or Andys, billfolds, stuffed animals, or hot dish holders. We each planted seeds in a cup for our mothers for Motherls Day. It was fun watching them grow.
