26 THE MIRROR These are the things we like to do: We like to sing and dance; we like to play games; we like to work with clay and to make things with our hammers; we like to dig in our garden and go to the woods; we love our doll, Jane; we like to clean our house and put our things away. The Kindergarten. Dear North Shore School: We are studying the Indians. They were the first people in our country. The Ojibway Indians lived in our state and in Wisconsin, too. They lived very differently from us—in tepees out of doors. We call them tents. In our grade we are making a wigwam. Ours is not made of deerskin or hide like the Indians’ because we can’t get any. But we are using potato sacks. They are about the color and size of deerskins. While the squaws are sewing the hides together the braves are getting the tent poles ready and making bows and arrows. Our tepee will be near the sand hills under an apple tree. When you see it all made and put up put on your Indian suit and come and see us. The First Grade. Recipe for Building: First thing: First we went around exploring looking for a lot. At last we found one. It was under a shady pine tree. We chose it because it was level and shady. Second thing: Next we started making plans to decide the size of our house. We measured a six foot square on the floor. Then everyone got in it and we decided that it was big enough. Then we measured everyone in height and the tallest child was 4 ft., in. So we made our house 5 ft. high. Third thing: Then we got some 2-by-4’s and started our house. Mr. Hiler and some of the big boys came out and helped us. The Second Grade. We want to tell you about ranches so we wrote for you a story called Romaine on a Ranch. Romaine is a boy of fourteen. He lives on a ranch in Colorado. His father owns the ranch and has about ten thousand cattle and twenty square miles. There are 640
