The pupils enjoyed expressing their town ideas in many different designs by means of finger pawinting. We were busy making spatter painting pictures. The children were curious to lift the screen to see how much paint had been dropped as a good picture must not have paint spots. ' Ou-1' room has made their second continued reading story on the baick of wallpaper. Each group has made a reading bioeklet aibout their particular reading unit. When the children studied the farm uniit, we made many farm afnimals from houne made clay. We had three reading corners, one for each group. On the wall was a display of -suitable pictures with printed sentences which contain the new Words that relate to each unit. The children were always anxious for the new dis- play to see if they could read the sentences. The children found their writing class interesting when they provided the s.entence.s. We made spelling booklets from oiur papers that had been kept from our class which was held every Friday. The children looked forward to play period in the audit- orium where they learned many games and square dances. On-ce a Week we had rhythm band in room 9 with Miss 'llaylor's and Mrs. Baiker's children.

The enrollment in Room 9 this term was 22 - boys and 12 girls. In addition to our regular school work the . children participated in the following activi- ties: rhythm band once a week and folk danc- ing and singing games each day at recess period. They memorized the following poems: The Flag Story , The Turtle , Spring', The Woodpecker , and My Cupboard . The boys and girls had lots of fun making a toy farm while reading the stories of the farm in their basic reading book. Iohnny Hiler- wick was chainnan of the committee and he brought the fence. Others who brought materi- al were Pauline Ebner, Marty Dillon, Dick Log- an, loe Brown, Iimmy Kerr, Barbara Kuhns, Ian- ice Watkins, Wayne Downs, Tommy Guzy, Marvin Chellman, Tommy Leeper, George Krolik, Becky Hower, and Terry Griffin. We made Writing booklets telling about Spring. We received a seal in Writing every period this term. Considerable progress was made in Spelling. The Print-Writing which was introduced this term made it easier for the children to write their spelling words. The boys and girls in our room enjoyed do- ing finger painting and spatter painting at the noon intermission under the supervision oi Mrs. Gerhart. The posters of the children who did the best work were posted on the bulletin board in the hall. For the Spring Music Concert, we had a group of Songs and two Dances, and also played in the Rhythm Band. We wish all the teachers and students a pleasant vacation this summer. I Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, and Recess were so 1 much fun. We were so happy our first year in school we hate to see it end so soon Page 15
