First Graders Learn Important Skills Mrs . Frances Edmonds Mrs . Odena Wright The first grade instructors this year were Mrs. McGraw, Mrs. Edmond, and Mrs. Wright. In the reading program , teachers used team teach- ing and leveling to provide greater opportunities for individualized instruction with particular emphasis being placed on phonics. One of the advantages of individual instruction is that each student is able to progress at his own speed. In addition, reading, writing, and math were emphasized. Mrs . Hodie McCraw

Mrs. Green Joins Second Grade Mrs. Green joined Mrs. Moses and Mrs. McDonald in teaching the second grade. Second graders concentrated on phonics, reading, and math. Besides leveling in reading, improve- ments were made on the learning centers, which were set up for personal enrichment at specified times. The students set their own pace and worked at their own level. As a follow up activity, Mrs. Green's second grade went to the Space and Rocket Center, watched voters vote, and held their own elections.
