This fourth grade room began the school year by starting out with eighteen people. During this semester we had one boy Alan Neeley, come into our room. We enjoyed having Alan here, although he wasn't here very long. He moved back to Des Moines before the end of the semester. We have learned to divide, do harder addition and subtraction in our arithmetic. We've also learned many things about other things, other countries, and peoples of many lands through the study of science, history, geography, and social studies. In spelling we've spent many an interesting and informative hour in our books, and the Blue Contest Speller. In competition with Miss Davidson's room, we have had a spelling contest almost every week with words chosen from the blue speller. The worlds have ranged in difficultyfrom third to fifth grade. There have been two prizes each time, a first and a second. Prizes have been books, diaries, valentines, styrofoam tree decorations, and various other things.
