THE SUMMER SCHOOL.


THE SUMMER SCHOOL.
We gave last week report in brief
of the work done in the Summer
School the first week, with comments,
etc. The following is the work Of the
last week, with roll of attendance and
other matters:
continued by Miss Blaisdell, the less
ons on Nature were finished and five
exercises in number were given. In
Nature the work was with birds and
insects. A robin was presented to
the class and the children observed it's
parts, gave reasons for the distinct
tive characteristics of these parts and
the consequent adaptation to the
special uses for which they were
designed.
The insect studied was the grass
hopper as it is large enough to be
seen easily, is typical of all common
insects and is less complex than many.
AS only small portion of the insect
can be observed carefully in the short
time allowed for a lesson the head
was selected for study. The children
were afraid to touch the grasshopper
at first although he had been ehloro-
formed and preserved in alcohol but
their interest soon overcame their
fear and they were eager to tell the
results of their observations. They
found his eyes, feelers, mouth, lips,
jaws, teeth and mouth feelers, MOTTO
ing the size, shape and color Of each.
The lessons in number were given
as follows:
1st lesson-Grule method-the num-
Der twelve, times, stories and fraction
al parts.
In this lesson the principal feature
was the grouping of the stories about
twelve SO that the children could
easily learn several at one time; for
example 4's = 12, 3's = II, Il of IL
A, a Of 12 =3.
End lesson
Fractions =, u.
11l-Circles cut into halves.
Number of halves in unit.
&C &C GO &C several units
Addition Of halves halves plus
halves % halves, etc.
4-Same as p.
Addition of halves and quarters.
p plus u a etc.
The pupils added halves as easily as
they did blocks or splints but when
halves and fourths were combined
they were puzzled at first. By draw
ing circle, dividing it into halves,
and then then fourths they found the
answer without the least difficulty.
The little ones cannot learn rule for
the addition of fractions, not having a
common denominator, but they can
perform the work until they are fam
iliar with the progress, and when they
need a rule can deduce one from their
own experience, which they under
stand better than those found in most
arithmetics.
Compound numbers, liquid measure,
a table developed.
Practical problems in reduction as
cending and descending.
On the table around which the child |
rem stood was pail of water and the
measures used in measuring liquids. |
The children were allowed to pour
water into these measures until they
the relative sizes and often
the names for the measures were Civ
en- they made their own table to be
used in the problem.
4th lesson
Multiplication of
units, tens, hundreds by units.
&C I" tens and
units
Division.
Short division, ways of expressing,
etc.
This lesson was given to illustrate
taught in higher grade
where the elementary, concrete num-
Der work is giving place to more
