W om, FOURTH GRADE During the first half of the year there were quite a few people who recei a slight shock as they walked into the Fourth Grade roorn. No, the students in Grade Four hadn't started taking in laundry. Those sheets and blankets hanging over wires at the back of the room were a very important part of the scenery for a play they were putting on. This play was written by one of the students, and became one of the Fourth Grade's more important extra- curricular activities. Although the play was one of their better products, it certainly was not the only one. They also made displays of their hobbies, which they are standing before, in the picture above. Everv holiday found their room beautifully decorated by their own skillful hands. Fourth Grade parents say, School Was never like this in our day. ved

There were not many things, however, that they learned in the Way that most folks do. Take their fractions for instance. Instead of just doing a lot of problems in the book to learn them, they made pictures illustrating what fractions really Were. The field of Interior Decorating was entered by them when they made drapes tor their room with scenes from their social studies' books. ln this Way they learned their social studies better, and had fun too. In the field of Science they didn't just read about spiders, but they Went on spider trips to actually see and study these insects. They didn't just learn about sandstone in rocks, or about starches and fats in foods, instead they made experiments testing these products. A new World has indeed unfolded this year for Grade Four.

Through trips to Greenfield Village, along the Maumee, and to the Art Museum, they saw for themselves a Colonia1'Village, where the French and Indian Wars were fought, and learned the story of glass and earthenware. ln music classes they memorized early folk-songs, and in art they made maps from clay and painted their favorite early American heroes. On sunny days it was always a treat for them to hold classes outside, as they are doing in this picture. Learning history was not their only activity, however, they also had a library for avid readers, a Poets' Corner, and the opportunity to make real scientific experiments and see movies and slides. They joined up with the Sixth Grade to present the Christmas operetta. Having accomplished all this with great gusto, the Fifth Grade, although small in size, proved it was mighty in influence.
