are planning to use very effectively
in their English work.
Special attention is called to a
few of the many good projects car
ried out in the grades as follows:
Grades 1 and 2-The attendance
project carried out in these grades
was successful. Each day a pupil
was present a purple grape was add
ed to his poster. A green grape rep
resented an absence. During the
month the total punches contained
only five green grapes. AS a result
the attendance was SO per cent.
The toy circus project with it's one
ring and animals attracted much at
tention in the primary grades. The
animals were modelled in plastiline.
Grades and 4-Calisthenics in
this room have been very good.
One book has been added to the
library, Elementary Science by
Grades" which is very helpful in
our nature study work. Many very
fine leaf booklets are on exhibit.

has been given to health work. Many
very good health posters are on ex-
hibit, showing much originality.
