As a correlation with their reading of Tortor and Tristan in French they made some puppets and presented an original puppet show. 56

New experiences for our fourth grade this year include learning cursive writing and writing in ink, taking part in our first Candlelight Service, and attending our first Childrenls Concert. In the fall, we each made a science notebook. We drew pictures of different classes of animals and gave a description of their structure. For the all-school Thanksgiving Assembly, we each told part of the story of the first Thanksgiving. At Christmas time, we made all the ornaments for our tree as well as painting a plate as a gift for our parents. In February, we planned an assembly program Celebrating Lincoln's birthday. We told about his life and acted out stories about him. During the year, we drew several maps which showed the early we were studying. In the spring we presented a play which we had written ourselves. 55

If you visited our room during the year, you might have seen us making plaster casts of leaves. We collected many kinds and learned their names. After they were painted and shellacked, they made colorful paperweights and wall plaques. Perhaps you saw our mural, Down the River Road, or one of the experiments we made when we studied the weather. You might have been surprised to see us playing games in French, composing a song for Music, or wrapping the handsome wooden trays we made in Shop for Christmas presents. Or you might have seen our play about Indians and cowboys called The Lucky Stone. Perhaps you saw us working in committees to plan our model community with its homes and stores, the fire department, airport, and radio-'I'V station. These projects were all important aspects of our work in the Second Grade. 57 1
