SCHOOL NOTES

SCHOOL notes.
Miss Faber Grade 2
. -
The children of the second
grade compiled their language
led their language lessons about
Columbus into a little program
for the lower grade rooms. A
Columbus poem, a story, picture
display and the finding of Spain
and America on the globe were
the numbers.
Miss Ide Grade
The Third Grade has had three
visitors this week, Mrs. Towne,
Mrs. Simpson and Mrs. Sieckert.
In connection with their study
of fruits, the children have made
jelly. Each child brought one
apple. These were cut up in class,
carried to the kitchen where they
were cooked. When cooked each
child helped fill jelly bag with
the cooked apples. They then
hung the bag to drip. One boy
brought the sugar. The class
found a recipe and several girls
brought a jelly glass to school.
The jelly was made and is now
put away to be used at some par
ty which the class will have later.
This jelly-making has motivated
our language and we have written
a story telling how we did it.
Roger Stoutland has been sick
and out of school this week. We
hope he will soon be able to re-
turn.
Miss Tronson Grade 4
We are reviewing our multiple
cation and division facts in arith-
metic. Within a month we hope
to write our one hundred multi
plication facts accurately in five
minutes and our one hundred div
ision facts accurately in seven
minutes.
During our language class we
enjoyed our poem "October's
Blue Weather" by Helen Hunt
Jackson. We saw many pictures
in the poem that are true of Red
wood Falls.
Miss Morrison Grade 4 and 5
The fourth and fifth grade chill
dren have finished their color
charts and are busy now on an
autumn scene. They are learning
all about washes.
There is much excitement in the
fifth grade. They are having a
multiplication tournament Each
person in the class has a partner
with whom he races. The first
round is nearly completed, two
matches being played off every
day. Well keep you informed
about how it is progressing.
Both grades had a short obser-
walton of Columbus Day and of
Minnesota Day this week. On
Friday a study was made of the
state flag and flower, and Min
nesota song was sung.
Miss Mclean Grade 5
The fifth grade had short pro-
gram in honor of Minnesota
Day." Six pupils told us about
our state flower, flag, seal and
capitol. We listed all of the nam
es we could think of that Mime
sofa is sometimes called.
Grapes were the last of a series
! of fruits that we have drawn and
colored in art.
Miss James Grade 6
We have been making Halo
ween posters in art period. Each
of us has a different scene which
we are trying to make spooky
looking.
In history we have finished
studying the early peoples up to
the Greeks. We are beginning to
see how our language and sciences
began.
Miss Jacobson Grade 6
We were very pleased over our
new desks Thursday morning. We
feel that they were worth waiting
for. To celebrate the occasion we
enjoyed treat of popcicles. One
child expressed himself by not
wanting to go home for lunch as
he didn't want to leave his new
desk for that long a time. The
children certainly appreciate sit
ting in seats after spending the
last four and a half weeks on aud
itorium chairs.
The children in the grades have
shown very keen interest in free
hand drawing and cutting of
ships. A display on the bulletin
board, of ships from grades one
through six, show some fine talent
in art.
