Sixth Grade-Miss James
In art we are making figures
dressed as children Of other lands.
It is interesting to notice how diff
ferently people clothe themselves.
We have tried to include all the
important nations of the world.
We are in the midst of decimals
in our Arithmetic class. We have
begun to realize what difference
one decimal point can make IN a
number. So far we have had adj
dition, subtraction, and multiple
cation of decimals.
Sixth Grade-Miss jacobson
The sixth grade is having very
interesting lessons in geography
We are studying the lowland
countries. We have learned that
the people of every country have
had some hard problems to solve
in order that they might make a
living and to suit their work with
their natural environment.
The children in Miss Jacobson's
room have been studying punctu-
alton. The class was divided into
groups and each group, made up
its own conversation. They were
given in class and the rest OF the
BOYS and girls wrote the sentences
and punctuated them. They were
interesting to hear and we learn
ed much about punctuating them.

iaI studies outside reading will be
checked in a regular library card
catalogue fashion. Thus we know
lust how many books are read
daily. Our eighth grade pupils Of
ter take out as high as $50 books
weekly outside additional infor-
nation.
For the ninth grade Home
Economics class; meat loaf, Span
ish steak, Swiss steak and veal
stew, have all been made this
week as part of our study OF
meats. They weren't hard to take
as we had potatoes or baking
powder biscuits to 60 with them.
Now mothers, will you trust us
with the dinner? Eighth Grade:
Salads containing protein has
been our topic this week. Some
of the appetizing salads we made
were salmon, egg, cottage cheese,
tuna fish, and macaroni with ham.
We made hot biscuits to go with
them. We judged our salads ac-
cording to a score card and found
that some of us had a good grad
ing. Seventh Grade: The cutting
of the cooking aprons was done
with the seriousness of a major
operation by some seventh grad
ers. We can see why too, because
for some girls it is the first ex-
perience at such a task. Now
that our head bands are complet-
ed we are ready to start the
French seams on our aprons.
