We like school very much especially our reading classes. We dramatize many of our stories. The units we have enjoyed the most are Post Office unit and the toy unit. Our birthdays give us a thrill because we get to be King or Queen for the day. We love to wear our crown decorated with a pretty birthday cake with candles on it. Our room mothers have been very cooperative and helpful with Mrs. Connell as chairman.
