A Visitor
A black and white kitten came
to our room. Mike carried him in
from the playground. He came be-
fore lunch so he stayed in the
room while we ate. When we went
to play Mike took care of him. He
slept on Joyce's desk. Mike wanted
to take him home but the bus driv-
er wouldn't let him. He let the kit
ten go. We hope he found a good
home.

Leaves
This year in Mr.. Simpsons class |
we collected leaves in the fall for |
science. Some of us made scrap
books of different kinds of leaves. |
We all gave reports on one kind |
of leaf. We gave reports on some
leaves that we had never heard of |
before. We looked up things in the
encyclopedia and other books. |
Some of us asked our mothers if
we could borrow some of their
wax paper which was needed in or
der to press the leaves with an iron
to preserve them for a longer
length of time.
