CHORAL SPEAKING The sixth grade in Room 303, as part of their English work, organized a Choral Speaking Choir. Through this medium they interpreted many poems in unison, part, and solo work. The choir gave a demonstration of their work to the Mothers' Study Club in March. CONSERVATION The sixth grade in Roob 303 worked on a Conservation Project as their Nature Study work this year. They discussed the need for conservation of forests, birds, game animals, wild flowers, soil and water. This work was then assembled into a program and given to the school on Arbor Day and again to Parents' Club at the April meeting. The class used speeches, drawings, maps, collections of wood and twigs, and slides to tell of their work. The Choral Speaking Choir concluded the program with several nature poems.
