II. We have nine boys and eight
girls. We want to have our at
tendance perfect. Every month
we have attended every day gold
star is placed on our report card.
This year we are enjoying some
very good books from the Minneso-
ia Free Travelling Library. We are
busy reading to see who can read
the most of them. We all want to
try so we can read twenty books
before school is out. We give book
reports every Friday and the names
of the books we have read and its
author is placed on a chart. The
boys and girls have a separate
chart and we are anxious to see
which chart carries the most names
of books.
The First and Second grades are
taking an aeroplane flight in read
ing class. In order to keep their
aeroplanes from having a forced
landing they must have a good
reading lesson. We must not miss
any words. We want to read plain
ly and understand what we read.
Very few aeroplanes have forced
landings.
Our spelling classes this year are
having another spelling race. We
divide the classes into two teams.
We call them the "reds and "blues."
The team which gets the most hum
dreds gets their flag up bearing
their color and a new gold star add
ed. The winning team may sing
their team song" or give yell.
The Sides are as follows:
"Reds"-Innozeng Roelike, Elm
err Rapp, Laverne Betow, Alvina
Roelike, Madeline Thostenson.
Blues - Alice Betow, Daisy
Cheadle, Luella Cheadle, Donald
Cheadle, Mabel Below.
Just now both sides are even
with eighteen stars.
The Second grade is trying to
be speedy in addition and sub
traction. We like to see how many
problems we can work and get
right in one minute. The first
time we took our speed test the
record was as follows:
Madeline IL, worked and score
100. I
Luella, Is worked and scored 100.
Donald, 7 worked and scored 80.
Laverne, worked and scored ~.
The last time is was like this:
Madeline, 10 worked and scored
100.
Donald, 10 worked and scored
100.
Luella, % worked and scored 100.
Layerne, 10 worked and scored
100.
We all like to have our squirrels
climbing so we do our seatwork as
carefully as we can. Now we can
say all our squirrels are climbing
higher but to begin with this year
some had to sit on the ground and
go hungry.
Donald, Madeline, Luella, La
verne, Leroy, Andrew and Evelyn,
all have climbing squirrels.
The Sixth grade geography class
is making a booklet on the scenic
places in the United States. We
have many pictures collected from
advertisements.
We like to toss rings on rainy
days when we can't play outside. It
not only gives us a great deal of
fun, but we are learning to add
quickly. We also play target toss.
We had the chance of playing
"Fox and Goose" when we got some
snow. We also made a snowman.
We have been trying our skill in
free hand drawing. Alvina Roelike,
Alice Betow, Daisy Cheadle, Innoz-
enz Roelike, and thinner Rapp
have made some that we have put
up.
Our phonics class is making an
Alphabet booklet. We nearly have
our book finished.
