sure must be a very interesting
subject because it tells all about
the Eskimos-what kind Of food
they eat, what kind Of clothes they
wear, how they build their homes
and so on. They have their room
decorated for January. Free hand
cut snowflakes, winter and Eskimo
scenes make up a very effective
decorating. We are all very sorry
to hear that Jane Lewis Of the
second grade has moved away.
