Elementary BusybOdies
The kindergarten has drawn pic
lures of airplanes and boats to add
to their transportation project.
The best ones are chosen and post
ed up in their room. Photograph
records of Mother Goose rhymes
put to music were received by Jerry
Meigs for Christmas. He brought
them to school and they played
them for the class.
Last week Miss Harris first
grade art class tried something
new. They used bright scraps of
cloth (rather than the usual con-
struction paper) for geraniums
growing in flower pots. The effect
is very pretty. The ones that deck
the bulletin board belong to Mar
ilyn Lovik, Carl Smith, Margaret
Casey, Regina Van Havermaet,
Larry Young, Alvina Green, Anita
Hierl, Harrison Ziegleman and Eu-
gene Schlotfield. This week in art
they are learning to cut hearts so
that soon they can start to make
valentines.
Miss Boehmke's second grade
class is now studying about the
life of the Eskimos. This study,
which is a very interesting one, in
cludes how they build their homes,
their means of transportation,
which is mostly by dog sled, what
kind of food they eat, and what
kind of clothing they wear.
The following received one hun
dred in spelling in Miss Dydbaps
room: Jim Steider, Betty Koterba,
Jerome Determan, Clifford Little,
Donald Parker, Patrick Cokeley,
Joey Middendorf, Norval Trattles,
Charlotte Potter, Yvonne Cumming,
Charles Hesse, Joy Gray, Richard
Holbrook, Ronald Gandrud and
Gerald O'Gara. In the reading de-
partment they have read ninety
one books for this week. Ninety
eight per cent of the books togeth-
err. Jerry O'Gara still leads the
class with the most books read
this year. Manners are the main
things in the class today. They
are applying them to their every
day behavior. Their motto is: Good
manners come from good heart.
(Remember that, readers).
Miss Beck's third and fourth
grades had a quiz program this
week. The questions were prepar-
ed by Carolyn Shulze, Sara Lu
Pangburn and Robert Hintzen.
Prizes were given to all who an
swered correctly.
Last Friday afternoon the fourth
and fifth grade had History Quiz
in their room, with the fourth
grade competing with the fifth.
The fourth grade team won by one
point. The fifth grade has started
working on a large relief map of
the United States. The map when
completed will be about five by
three feet. 1t will be made Of a
flour, salt and water mixture.
The fifth grade is busy dividing
pies, cakes and candy bars into
equal parts. No! They haven't TAX
en- up the bakery business, but rath-
er the study of fractions. They find
it fun drawing men stick figures
six inches tall, than a boy five
sixths as tall, a dog one-sixth as
tall, and so on. BY the time they
have finished this study they expect
to be able to draw and divide any
thing equally. They have a prim-
rose plant in their room given to
the Girl Scouts by the Sank Centre
Floral Shop. 1t is very lovely
plant and they are enjoying its
cheerful message. During their
forty-minute physical education
period in the past weeks, they have
enjoyed ice skating on the fine
rink Mr.. Dickinson has labored on.
Some of them are just beginning
to learn to skate while others are
veterans at the art.
In geography Miss Holden's sixth
grade class is studying Germany,
not as it is today but as it was in
1918. The children enjoyed look
ing at red corpuscles through the
microscope, while studying the cir
culation Of blood in hygiene. They
enjoyed ice skating on the play
grounds very much during their
physical education period.
Junior High Classes
Miss Ellis geography classes are
taking trip along the Congo riv-
er-an imaginary one Of course,
but it's lots of fun just the same.
Her science class is just finishing
their unit on How Substances
Change"
I really got a surprise when I
