Third grade started the year's ac- tivities with an Indian project. The sand table provided the setting for an attractive Indian Village. Everyone participated in making the tepees, canoes, people, forest and many objects of Indian life. A log cabin was added, a rough table made, and some Pilgrim figures helped the Indian de- pict The First Thanksgiving. Our Christmas table was a spark- ling castle in Santa Land. Next We made a dairy tann. It was complete with house, barn, silo, garage, sheds, animals, tractors, farm machinery, fields of corn and Wheat, pastures for grazing, and a pond. We next constructed a village. Houses were measured, cut and put together out of pasteboard boxes. They Were then given several coats ot enamel paint. COne very sad incident occured at this time - one which we would all like to forgetl. Stores, garages, and filling stations were added. Some Reading activities Were: an animal chart, a class scrapbook ot pictures illustrating stories read inde- pendently, a Lincoln mural done in chalk, and a I-lobby show which prov- ed quite interesting.

On Nov. 9, 1953 our Fourth Grade observed American Education Week by having a pro- gram called A Glimpse of Our School Week . In this program We had 2 plays, dances, poems, and speeches. Many patrons and friends attended. The first flute band at Stanton School was started this year. Every pupil in our room be- longs in the band. You heard the band play at our Spring Program. ' Our Spring Program was Italy , It was a correlation of music, art, English, and social studies. The boys and girls dressed like Itali- ans. Peep boxes or 3 Dimensional Picture boxes were made of events and people we studied in social studies. An Audubon Bird Club was founded. The pupils paid' 15 cents to belong. They got a button, certificate, charts, and much information con- cerning birds from the National Audubon So- ciety, Whose headquarters are in New York City. The ping-pong table was quite a busy place at noon. Everyone was anxious for his turn to come. The boys and girls appreciated the ball and bean bag which the School Board bought them. Enthusiasm ran high as the time came for our trip to Pittsburgh. We visited Heinz where We toured the huge plant and saw how prod- ucts are cooked, processed, canned, and ship- ped. Everyone gathered in the beautiful dining roorn where a luncheon was served. We visit- ed the flower show at Phipp's Conservatory, the zoo, and museum. In lVlay We picnicked at Silvis' l:'arm's tables and later took a trip through their dairy. Everyone of us has a flute and we hope you liked the music we made at our Spring Musicale on May 21 We learned very much through our Social Studies proiects which included the making of 3 D peat boxes and special raised physical maps of salt and flour.
