GRADE TWO Dr. Marie I. Rasey of Wayne University says, HTeachers do not educate. They are bystanders. It is experience that edu- cates. The teacher's job is to arrange the pupil's environment so that experiences will be accessible to them.u My aim has been to expand old enterests, stimulate and develop new and worthwhile interests. The typical American child learns to utilize and to enjoy only a few of his talents. Therefore, the emphasis has been put upon giving the child opportunity and encouragement for expres- sion in dramatization, story telling, writing, music, and draw- ing. The entire class participated in the grade operetta, UChristmas in the Circusn. The group also gave a little skit entitled USantaU for the Christmas program. Everyone enjoyed our gift exchange and party in our room. Santa and his helpers, from our grade, visited the first four grades treating the children to candy. We worked out the story of The First Thanksgiving and The First Christmas in the form of a frieze across the front of the room. we are looking forward to a valentine party and our school exhibit. GRADE ONE Twenty-one haPPY boys and girls entered school for the first time on August 31, 1951. During the year Bruce and Frank Allen moved to Scotland and Roberta Frye moved to Bloomfield. New pupils were Kathleen Byers from Calvertsville and Shirley McCombs from Illinois. Members of the entire class participated in the Christmas operetta sponsored by the Music Department. They were Pop Corn Balls and members of the Rhythm Band. Social activities have included a Christmas and Valentine party and a birthday party given by the mother in honor of each child whose birthday occurred during the school year. Pupils in the first grade are always happy to have visitors and appreciate the interest shown in their school work. llfllvklivlfikflvlfildf Friendship is the ability to see with the heart instead of the eyes c To find fault is easy, to do better may be difficult.
