The children are grateful for this
useful gift. The teachers are being

An extremely interesting trip to
the new Cleveland Aquarium was
taken by Miss Vesta Applegate's
sixth grade children on February
14th. The class had been studying
about pond communities" - the
kinds of water animals and plants
that can live together in piece
of water without everything eating
everything else up. They had check
lists of fish which they had been
studying about, and marked off the
actual specimens in the Aquarium
tanks as they saw and identified
them.
They saw some species they
they weren't looking for, and some
that they wouldn't have wanS2d
even if they had been looking for
them, Sea lampreys, for instance
ugh. You can have them!
Essays on their Aquarium trip,
and a bulletin-board poster of a
pond community ARE later class

while expedition to the underwater
world.
Prospect
Five Traffic Safety posters made
by Prospect children are. on their
way to Washington, d. c. to COM
pete in the National Safety Con-
test. They were chosen from
among the posters made by Mrs.
Hazel Cramer's fifth grade pupils,
each one illustrating a traffic
safety rule: "Use Your Eyes, "Be
Extra Careful on Rainy Days., and
so on. Drawings of figures, neat
ness of lettering, and general "eye
appeal" are all important in an
assignment of this kind, and the
five selected for the national con-
test were picked by Art Supervisor
Holderbaum.
1t may sound easy to say, "All
right, let's make a Safety Poster" F"
But have you ever tried to draw
an umbrella?
Caledonia
Last week a new student from
Brazil entered Mrs. Lois Marines
kindergarten class in Caledonia
School. Alice Prado, from Sac
Paulo, has moved here with her
parents, both of whom are medi-
cal researchers at Mount Sinai
Hospital; her father is a doctor.
When she came here she didn't
know a word of English.
But the kindergarteners didn't
know a word of Portuguese either;
so that made them even with little
Alice. They are learning some of
each others language now; the
children can say "Bom dia Pava
voce!" just as we'll as "Good morn
ing to you!" And Alice has the help
of her aunt, former teacher, as
we'll as of Mrs. Marine and the
other children in learning to speak
English. Her parents know Eng
lish, so that should make it all
the easier for her to pick up the
new language.
Chambers
Physical changes have been
going on at Chambers for many
weeks. Each classroom has been
painted, by the Board of Educa-
tion maintenance staff; and the
children have become so accus-
toned to the smell Of paint that

any more. Of course, when any
certain room is being painted, ar
rangements have to be made to
let the men do their work.
The halls and office will be done
last, perhaps by other workmen.
Besides all this, the Shaw Sta
dunn and baseball field behind
Chambers are strictly "off limits"
to the students this year, because
of the work being done on the
stands and bathhouse. In other
years, the physical education
classes could be taken to the ball
diamond in good weather for their
regular gym periods but this
Spring the two elementary super
visors, Mr.. Tom Meinhart for the
boys and Mrs. Marilyn Di Liberto
for the girls, will need to make
