And then again you may not, we’re so small. But we see you— The great tall giants dressed in navy blue. You sort of scare us sometimes, in a way. Maybe you think that all we do is play. But that’s net true; We learn things too. We learn lots of games and each other's names. How to model clay and put on a play. All about stores and the Eskimo, Feeding birds, and UNESCO. So please don’t think we have nothing to do. Down here at the bottom we are busy too. of Grade One . . . We studied reading and dinosaurs And made things out of clay. We visited a farmyard once And saw the animals; We had a yummy picnic lunch And even wore farm clothes. We were fourteen midgets who had the fidgets And that is the story of Us. We Are the Students And this is the story of Us. We were fourteen midgets And we had the fidgets So we hunted for something to do. Our teacher helped us Plan a breakfast And taught us all about food.

The lessons that we learned were many And unforgettable — Lessons of a brand new world Lessons of all the things and people in it And lessons about ourselves. We learned to understand The lives and thoughts and customs of foreign peoples — Of Eskimos and Spaniards and Africans, Of people from England and people from Germany. Wt learned to paint and act and sing and write. Wc learned obedience, and then We learned to think for ourselves. We learned to follow; Then we learned to lead. We learned to wonder; Wc learned astonishment and eagerness; Wc learned to be curious; and then Wc learned to explore. We learned a little bit About a lot, But learning it We came to feci a hunger to know more — A hunger far more precious than mere facts. Wc learned to work together And play together And slowly, through the long slow passing of days — Through all the misunderstandings and fights and tears — Wc learned to understand And accept one another, And this was the Greatest Lesson of them all. Yes, wc learned a lot of things this year that were never recorded On any report card. But wc will remember these things. For they have been written Clear and indelible u|x;n the first white page Of our opening lives. CI3]

We had our own aquarium And model planetarium. We went to see the Post Office Where all the mailmen go. We made a real live pan ot rolls the Second Grade . . . Out of real live dough. We learned about birds and evaporation. Telling time and hibernation. We went to a dairy, we rode on a train. We learned about money and counting change. We learned how to measure and now- we are sure That we know lots more than we knew last year. We Are the Busy Travelers of Grade Three Who toured the world in a hundred and eighty days On a ship called “Imagination.” Our captain was Mrs. Kohl And our first mate Was Miss Indihar Who taught us the music of many distant lands. We went to the Netherlands and there we found Hundreds of tulips growing all around. We went to Africa and there we saw A vicious lion stretch his yellow paw, A little zebra trot across a plain, A native village; then we went to Spain. We saw the bullfights and the matadors. We ate hot food in cafes out-of-doors. And then at last we sailed back home again. Seated: R. Chidiolm. K. Carpenter, N. Cnwin, L. Son more. R. Golden. M. Kaplan. I). Smith. J. | nr . Standing: V.
