Wisconsin history formed the basis of the third grade's study. Under Miss Wil- son's guidance they first learned about the Indians of Wisconsin, and then about the state pioneers. They spent some time talking and reading about the early days of Whitewater and visited the log cabin in back of the school. A model log house was constructed in the room and filled with furniture and tools made by the children. A table map of early White- water was built from clay, showing the first homes and stores. Later they visited the present day industries of Whitewater, taking paper with them to draw pictures of the machinery. The stone mill, rain- coat factory, post oflice, condensery, and brick yard were sources of interest for the children. Miss Wilson has charge of the third grade activities. OURTH grade pupils took imaginary trips with Miss Wilson. After writing to steamship and railway lines for actual costs, they figured their expenses for the trip. Clothes were planned and the right kind of baggage selected. Norway was one of their northern stops and the girls made Norwegian dolls while the boys carved toys and made Viking ships. When they reached the desert they made a movie of their trip through the sands. Delving into the past has again held the interest of the Hfth grade. Miss Sagl has taught them about the Egyptians, Romans, and other early peoples. To record the activities of the group during the fourth and fifth grade years a book is being made by the children. Illustrated with camera pictures, the book is divided into three sections. The first describes the school, the room, the individual members, and the teachers as written by the chil- dren. Stories about their school and out- of-school doings fill the second division, fisi N, .. Q Reading alwnf ffm Romans, a fiffli grade Xflllffflf sifx l7l f0Vl' a mural frllzsfrzzflvcf by flu' class.

SIXTH grade students have traveled with Richard Halliburton this year- a la The Flying Carpet. In order to make the trip more realistic they have made a picture of their own plane. With Mrs. Fischer's help they dramatized their story against a pictorial background. Specimens of their art work were sent to Henderson College in Arkansas. l

PRIMARY DEPARTMENT Travel is the Main VISITING the Training School proves to be an enlightening experience for most people. There is no atmosphere of having to go to school , it is rather one of This is lots of fun. Swimming and dancing lessons are provided throughout the year, and older boys and girls take manual training and domestic science. Music work is carried on by Miss Jordalen. After the Hrst graders learned to sing by note they worked on an oper- etta, while the third graders made xylo- phones and then composed music and played in concert. The fourth, fifth, and sixth grades sang a two part Cantata for their parents, and a radio appearance was made by the Hfth and sixth grade choir. Three part harmony is used by the sixth grade in their classes. Under Miss Tutt's supervision the chil- dren's first experiences in school are made as pleasant and happy as possible. The kindergarten materials lend themselves to many kinds of construction work and dramatic play. Play house, work bench, Interest clocks, sand table, rubber balls, game table, wooden toys, clay, scissors and paste, story books, pets, rhythm band in- struments, dishes, utensils for serving and cooking real food,-all contribute to the life of the youngest members of the school. THE first and second grade instruction attempts as far as possible to achieve its objectives through units of work or activities. Running parallel with these, however, are classes of a more formal nature where skills in fundamental sub- jects may receive more organized atten- tion. Among the units of interest in the first grade during the year have been a grocery store, a post ofhce, a movie show- ing the development of transportation, the construction of trucks and airplanes, a circus, and spring nature projects. Miss Tutt teaches the Hrst grade. Second graders have learned to substitute writing for printing and to read more intelligent- ly. With Miss Madden's help they, too, have been interested in project work.
