new TOY SHOP IS
VERY BUSY PLACE
AT JOSEPH MOORE

The first grade children are still
busy on the toy shop ! told you OF
last week. They are making hats
and dresses for dolls. They have
rompers made of all kinds of cloth.
There are jumper suits also. The
hats are made of velvet with
feathers in them. This will be
quite an addition to the stock in the
little shop.
Boys and Girls Cook
The 5A's of Joseph Moore take
cooking at Baxter every Thursday
except during vacation. We use
the time of the morning recess
walking over there. Each child
chooses a partner to cook with.
The girls choose girls, and the boys
choose boys. We have stoves to
cook on. We cook in the basement
in the coking room. We have made
so far, cocoa, baked apple, orange
salad, apple sauce and potato fluff.
The best of all, We made candy last
Thursday.
Each child has an apron, a wash
cloth, dish rag, hot handle
holder, a drying cloth, two sauce
dishes, a glass measuring cup,
plain glass, two teaspoons, a dish
pan, and a rinsing pan, a little
granite saucepan, two ordinary
knives, a fork, pairing knife, lit
tie granite cup and a table spoon.
Health Glass
We cook things and the teacher
gives us a Health card with Health
rules on it. 1t tells what a person
needs to do to be well. They are
like cleaning teeth and eating fruit.
1t tells US to drink so much milk a
day and to eat leaf vegetable at
least once a day. We are weighed
at least once a month to see Whe-
Their we are gaining or not. II we
are not, we must find out the rea-
son. This is called the Health
class. We are also measured to
see if We are taller
Janitor's Son Helps
Our janitor has new duty this
week. 1t is getting the snow off
the steps and the walks. Last
fall he moved the grass. The snow
work takes the place of the grass
work. He has to keep the house
clean and the fire going also. The
windows have to be washed some
times. The glasses in the doris are
dirty often. He washes them. He
does not like for a boy or girl to
touch the glass in the doors in pass
ing through them. His son, Sher-
man Richardson, grade ga, helps
by emptying the waste baskets
from all the rooms every evening.
There are many other things he
does to help his father that / do
not think OF now.
A Chalk Picture
All across the black board in the
back of the third grade room there
is picture. 1t is as long as the
black board and comes down about
two feet from the top. 1t is done in
chalk in different colors. 1t has
white snow hills. The houses are
Of different colors. These are on
the sides of the hills and have
snowy roofs. The green fir trees
have snow on their boughs. 1t all
looks so pretty. 1t reminds me of
he winter season.
Robinson Crusoe's Home
In the third grade of Joseph
Moore they are making Robinson
Crusoe's home on the island. They
nave made the wall around his
house and two canoes inside it.
The wall is made of sticks put in
endways like Robinson Crusoe's
wall. | think | will tell more about
It next week. This Robinson Cru
soe's home is in the sand table
where the Indian camp used to be
hat told about some time ago
