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... .,,.

indergarten Hooray for Thanksgiving The kindergartners celebrated Thanksgiving in the spirit of the first Americans by dressing as pilgrims, Indians, and even turkeys. In the weeks prior to the holiday, the kinder- gartners learned what Thanksgiving really meant. They kicked off their holiday studies by taking a field trip to Pinnacle Mountain where they listened to Jack Pratt, dressed as Squanto, tell the story of the first Thanks- giving. Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Fitton, said. Thanksgiving was a real neat time for the children to learn about the history of our country as well as sharing with others. The finale to the Thanksgiving unit was the Hooray for Thanksgiving program on Wednesday, November 26. The parents were invited to watch their children sing songs and present a Thanksgiving program. C..I. Murphy described his role, I was a turkey. My Mom didn't take pictures because she forgot her camera. After the program, the kindergartners enjoyed refreshments with their parents. The kindergartners benefitted from this program because it allowed them to celebrate Thanksgiving with their friends, Jaime Robertson summed up her Thanksgiving by saying that, I thought the program was fun and I liked the singingthe best of all. I got to go to Gramma's the next day to eat lots of turkey. Howl Ben Pierce, dressed in his Indian costume, speaks hisvpart in the Thanksgiving program. The program was the finale to the kindergarten Thanksgiving unit.
