SECOND THIRD rOURTH Since learning by doing Is our chief aim, we have completed a number of units of work whereby each child experiences many phases of education, such as visual. gractiral, dramatic, creative, drill and social activity creative, drill and social activity. A study of the origin and customs of Hallowe’en anJ Thanksgiving, tie Story of Christmas and Easter, and February birthdays were the seasonal units studied. A unit on the country of Holland and one on the ca .e of our pets was also enjoyel. A number activity used was the rcs'ocking of our Grocery market.
