In company with the little Pilgrims
and girls, the children of Miss Chat
fields division of the first grade are
enjoying visit to Holland this week
Next week we shall take lovely voy-
age across the ocean in America in
time to have Thanksgiving dinner with
the kind Indians. We already know
a sweet prayer OF Thanksgiving which
we sing. and several readings for the
occasion. We are going to dress up in
Pilgrim costume and entertain the
other grades during the morning ex-
ercses
But we really think we are smartest
when spelling. Our teacher makes us
spell words of our letters. 1t does not
seem exactly fair to us. but we are
doing nicely just the same.
