SIXTH GRADE FEEDS RATS Just a ho-hum Halloween for sixth graders. Donna Buck Kathryn Culver Brian Luff Donna Moore Jacky Moore Lisa Pritchett Shelly Richter Kelly Sailors Mark Vanosdall Allison Vetter Mrs. Pierson This year’s sixth graders number three boys and seven girls. They are located in Mrs. Pierson’s home room where they have math and science classes. Their other subjects are taught by Mrs. Ander- sen and Mrs. Carnes. At Christmas, sixth grade enjoyed presenting the play, “Santa on Trial.”” This was viewed by 3rd through 5th grade. They had baked cookies and served them with Kool Aid after the play. These students also visited the Plainsman Museum in December and will be taking a spring field trip. In health, the sixth grade, assisted by the fifth, will participate in an experiment sponsored by the National Dairy Council. They will be feeding two white rats. One rat drinks milk and eats a regular diet while the other drinks sugar water and eats a regular diet. The purpose of the experiment is to show the value of milk in the diet. Spring time will find the 6th grade busy working math problems on the computer. We're studying Mexico, Central America, West Indies, South America, and Canada in many social science ways; such as, through the archeologist, the historian, political scientist, the geographer, sociologist, and the economist. We have films, film strips, reports, and projects correlating with what we are studying. We use Junior Scholastic, map skills workbooks, and listen to TV programs giving the world news.

FIFTH GRADE STUDIES STATE Carol Buck Brad Jacobsen Kevin McHargue Bill Mersch Lauri Montgomery Dustin Nissen Jerri Olson Jennifer Penner Kim VanBibber Wayne Young Mrs. Anderson We are studying the historical development of the United States. Each student has written to a different state to get added information about it. We're hoping that at the end of the year we know all the states and their capitals. Also, we are using map skills workbooks, reports, projects, films, film strips, and TV programs that relate to the states. The fifth grade students are busy studying for the county spelling contest. A Crossroads Spelling Contest is also planned for this year, to be held in May. Many facets of the language arts are covered this year. A basic reading series is used to improve reading skills with the emphasis on reading to learn in the fifth grade. Fifth grade dresses up for Halloween.
