GRADES
Grade II-Miss Faber
We finished our art booklets
last week. In them we have
miniature copies of the pictures
we studied during the year.
Original stories for these pic
lures were written and they are
in our booklets too. On the COW
ers of the booklets we have "cir-
Gle and square" designs in the
primary colors.
Last week we had Miss Taf1in'S
boys and girls in our room as
guests at our meeting of the ''L1t-
tie Citizens Club"

During Language class we
wrote original poems to write in

thought the following were espe-
cially good.
Mother is so sweet and kind,
She helps to clear our little
minds,
She helps to do our lessons too,
Now what do you suppose I
could do? Eleanor Engeman.
Everyday in every way I'll try
to please my mother,
l am so very proud for I know
there is no other. Dale Gold.
Dear mother, I never really UNI
derstood
Why you should be so very
good,
Why you should be SO very
kind,
To cheer our lonely little minds.
-Bernice johnson.
