FIRST The thirty-four students of the first grade had plenty to talk about. The students were together for the first time and experienced their first year of a full day at school. Their teachers, Staci Jones and Betty Dexter, taught addition, subtrac- tion, and D'Nealian hand- writing. They also taught the class to read and encour- aged them to enjoy read- ing.

KINDERGARTEN There was much chatter in the kindergarten class. The twenty-two students made the transition from home life to school life with ease. They developed readiness skills by learning the letters of the alphabet and the beginning sounds. They learned to interact with others, to listen when others are talking and to tend to their tasks. They also learned the math concepts and wrote and recognized numbers from 1 to 30. Other tasks were learning to write their names, to tie their shoes, and the names of the days and months.

SECOND The second graders used many new concepts, such as telling time, counting money and learning two- digit addition and subtrac- tion facts to reinforce pre- vious learning. Students worked reading units at their own pace. They did plays, played word games, and illustrated sto- ries to understand phonics concepts, and also prac- ticed cursive writing. Their teacher Doris Petersilie took the students to an elevator. Then they ground wheat into flour and made bread. They studied the four food groups, animals, plants, and our solar system.
