We are finding out how the
Eskimo children live. We are GO
ing to make stories about them
and put them into book.
Thursday we visited the fur
mace room and Mr.. Parker show
ed us where the coal is kept, how
it is put into the furnace, and how
he keeps the fire burning. We
asked him all the questions we
could think of and now we have
story about it in our room.
We hope all the sick children
in our room will be ready to
come back to school real soon.
We miss them!

In our social studies class we
are now studying clothing and
are just finishing the unit on
wool. We have made very at
tractive chart of pictures and
real wool in its different stages
from sheep to cloth. Different
members of the class can talk
from an outline telling the whole
process of making wooden cloth.
In our art class we have learn
ed to cut the six pointed snow
fake stars and are studying the
primary and secondary colors,
making chart of each.
We are working hard on our
multiplication facts and hope to
have our addition and substrac-
ton facts. Everybody is watch
ing the temperature these cold
days so we have made some
thermometers to keep our temp
erature in arithmetic. We hope
the mercury will run high.

of Father Hennepin and His
Experience.
