Third and Fourth Grades The third and fourth grades had two capable teachers this year. Mrs. Louise Powers joined the Orland Park staff in January when Mrs. Jerling resigned. During the last few months both grades have become very inter- ested in bird life - birds as travelers and birds in their natural home life. Several boys and girls have joined the National Audubon Junior Bird Club. On April 30, the room made a trip in the school bus to visit the Museum of Natural Science and lndustry. The students were especially interested in the Railroad Exhibit, the Colleen Moore Doll House and the exciting tour through the coal mine.

Fifth - Sixth Grades The fifth and sixth grades had an enrollment of twenty-four in September: they now have an enrollment of twenty-nine, seventeen in the fifth grade and twelve in the sixth grade. During the past year there have been various types of activities along with the academic work. Examples of art projects were those done at Christmas time when Christmas scenes were painted on the windows by the sixth grade groupg a Christmas tree bulletin board was a group activity of the fifth grade. Dramatization was an activity in which fine group and class relationship was apparent. An opportunity to participate in athletics was offeredg some made the grade school basketball team - others the baseball line-ups. Several have shown interest in different musical in- struments - three are members of the school orchestra. Parties provided a part of their social activities. Perhaps the high spot of the year's activities was a trip to the Museum of Science and Industry.

First and Second Grades 1951-52 found thirteen new first graders enrolled with seventeen second graders. Their main endeavor was learning to read, correlating home, school, and community life, contrasting it with Indian, Pilgrim, and Eskimo lifeg also with life in the time of Washington and Lincoln. With the woods and marsh ear by, animal, plant and mineral life became a natural interest which culminated with a visit to Farrs' aviary and a trip to the Brookfield Zoo. For source material they collected pictures and made a large general library. They developed their own book exchange , learning to make book reports with illustration, which together with news reports for the Reflector made a continuous practical purpose for the entire Lan- guage Arts area. This group also developed an ease in letter writing, creating cards for every occasion. With the cooperation of their parents they won many room awards en- abling them to buy four junior volley balls, their largest purchase.
