NOTES
IN THE GRADE SCHOOL

The second grade had a Toy
show last week so that everyone
might see the wonderful things
Santa Claus brought at Christmas
time. We are learning about the
Eskimos this month-how they
live, work, and play. In art class,
we have modelled many northland
objects in clay, including igloos
and kayaks. The second graders
in Miss Faber's room are making
a booklet called Life in Eskimo
Land" Louise and Robert Wat
kins of Renville and Beatrice
Reynolds of Buffalo are new pu-
pills in the second and third
grades.
The third grade reviewed the
primary and secondary colors this
week and have learned what tints
and shades are. We have also
tried to find the constellation,
Orion, and have discovered it in
the eastern sky at seven o'clock.
The fourth and fifth grades
have finished their geography
booklets telling how and why the
people living in the Congo region
live, work and play as they do. In
the fifth grade geography class,
we are learning how the people in
the coastal mixed farming region
fit their work to the locality in
which they live. These grades
are working hard to get zoos sc
as to win in the snow fort contest
on the spelling chart. Grade five
had the strongest fort last week.
In the special grade the chill
dren are enjoying their chance to
help the nursery school by max
ing doll furniture for the little
children. Miss Hoppe and hel

ton. The children in this room
