SECOND GRADE

Page 19 text:

School opened September the eighth with thirty five boys and girls enrolled in room fourteen. On November sixteenth Donald Koontz entered our school from Mt. Pleasant Township. We soon found out Donald was very good in art. Halloween was our first holiday. How beau- tiful some of us looked and how terrible oth- ers looked. We had a grand parade, followed by a party in our room. It seemed as if we had just gotten started well on our school work when it was time 'io get ready for Christmas. At first we thought we would play some rhythm band numbers but to put on a play and rhythm band both would take too much time from our regular school work. So we eliminated the rhythm band but continued it after Christmas with Tommy Kelly as director. First and second grade then decided to present the operetta, The Isle of Christmas Dreams. We portrayed many toys and animals and enjoyed getting it ready very much. The first week in May we presented the playette, Down on Old MacDonald's Farm with all the animals on the farm taking part. Our rhythm band at this time made their first appearance. See what we made and look at the guys and gals who made lf. . Relaxing for our picture in our happy workshop. Page 17

The second grade children in room fifteen had a very busy time all year long reading three basic readers: CFriends and Neighbors: More Friends and Neighbors: and What Nextl: learning to spell many new words and work- ing with addition and subtraction combina- tions. Mondays were special days with Miss Carl- son coming for art or Mrs. Cole for music. In between their visits the children Worked on music and art projects. They especially en- joyed making things from clay and then paint- ing them to make look real. Each holiday was celebrated in some way. At Halloween the children had a party with everyone wearing a funny costume. Christmas time meant helping first grade with their pro- gram. For Thanksgiving the children made a blackboard border of turkeys, pilgrims and log cabins. Valentine's Day was best of all with a large fancy box full ot Valentines for everyone. When spring arrived the children enjoyed playing wi.th their new playground equipment at lunch time. Spring also brought the annual spring con- cert and the boys and girls in room fifteen did their part to make it a big success. Some of the children danced the Virginia Reel while others danced around the Maypole, weaving it into a beautiful basket pattern. This brought to a close the end of the sec- ond year of school for the children of room fifteen.
