GRADES 5 Q 6 Last September the pupils of Grades 5 and 6 set out upon their nine-months journey of 1945 and 1946 through the books designated to their grades. Our hopes were high and our aims were to accomplish the tasks before us and to gain all the knowledge we could. 'The process of doing this was by units of textbooks and projects of special work. New history books were introduced in each grade. we learned the beginning of our country and about a full grown nation.. The sixth grade worked diligently to learn decimals, per cents, denominate numbers, areas, and volumes. The fifth grade enjoyed fractions, a bit of decimal, and measurements. We used travel letters in grade five with our study of South America and United States possessions. The room made a study of the U.S. flag, the'Ohio Flag and the Uhited Nations' Flag. Booklets were made by each pupil. The Coca Cola Company furnished projects on steel, glass cotton, and motion pictures for a study unit. We enjoyed our Audubon Bird Club. Ne studied birds and their nests, had meetings in charge of the officers, programs in charge of committees, fed the birds around our homes, made houses and feeders, and left a bird picture to the room from our dues. We gave an assembly program, helped in the Christmas operetta, gave our flag unit at the Farmers' Institute, and helped in the spring operetta. Je enjoyed learning two and three-part songs. All in all, we enjoyed our school term though we did have to work as well as play.
