st Me, I'm special The first graders complet- ed their very first auto- biography entitled Me-I'm Special. The first part of their booklets was completed in the fall, and the second part was finished in the spring. This two-volume collection gave the students an opportunity to express themselves to the best oftheir abilities. They found out at the end of the year that by comparison the second edition proved to be much more detailed than the first. This was due to their education and maturation during the school year. Students entering their first year of school usually cannot express their ideas very well on paper, whether it be pictures or words. So, in the first booklet, the teacher wrote the question, explained it to the students, and then they drew a picture that answered the question. For example, one of the questions asked what color the student's eyes were. Each child drew a picture of his or her eyes and colored it. Other questions asked about the ff if 7fk-: . st gg students' families, pets, houses, rooms, and birthdays. When springtime rolled around, the first graders wrote a second Me Book. This time, though, their answers to the questions were much more clear and thorough. The students applied what they had learned during the school year and used their knowledge in their booklets. Instead of pictures, they had now written their answers in sentences. Every student had a fun time creating his own autobiography. What made this project so interesting, though, was that the students learned a great deal in self expression while having fun in school. This is what learning should be all about. Cleanliness is next to godliness. Kyle Hernandez takes time out from class to empty his desk and reorganize his materials. Keeping a clean desk helped students do neat work and prevented them from losing homework assignments. The lone worker. Justin Cordon, one of Miss Rogers' students, concentrates diligently on a puzzle he had to color, cut out, and reassemble. This was a typical assignment that young learners had to complete in addition to the Me Book. ff H el.,t , ,itt ta. fert f H s t s' M... .,,.
