ated their kites, with many of them
drawing faces on theirs-all most

Wind, apparently, makes wonder
full things happen.
Caledonia
A package came from Ireland to
Miss Audrey Scott's first grade
room in Caledonia in time for st.
Patrick's Day. 1t contained, among
other things, a real shamrock and
some Irish moss, which were put
in the schoolroom's plant box to
stay. Miss Scott met the family
which sent this present when she
was in Ireland last Summer, at
which time they promised to send
along a little bit of the Old Sod to
this country in time for the feast
day Of the Irish.
In return, the class sent an
Easter package to the four children
in the Irish family, who range in
age from five to nine. They also
chose which one of the children
each one wished to write thank-you
letters to, and several letters were
composed to each Of the Irish chill
dren, Off they went, carried by
hand to real mail boxes by first
graders on their way home from
school, addressed to Killarney,
County Kerry.
Superior
Miss Jane Morley's second
graders at Superior School know
where they live. All folds know
this in a way, Of course; but do
many of them know the name of
the next street to theirs, or the
second street over?
What the children did was to
construct a 2O-foot long paper
wall-map of the Superior district
extending along Euclid ave. from
Marloes to Lakeside. Every child's
home is located on it in yellow or
blue paint. Also painted in were
such important places as the City
Hall. the Post Office, and the long
stretches of Forest Hill Park and
Lakeview Cemetery uphill from
the Terrace-Foresthill line.
A big problem was presented by
the fact that several children live
up off the map, in the Coventry
Road-Hillcrest sector. How could
these boys and girls get their
names on the map, if there was no
room to show their homes?
This problem was solved by
drawing and cutting out a big
paper bus, which is struggling up
Superior Hill with strips of paper
bearing the Hilltop children's
names aboard it. Neat, no?
Prospect
Mrs. Ruth Neikard's Sight-Sav-
ing class at Prospect has just COM
pleted display of which they can
we'll be proud. In the front hall
showcase they have assembled a
number of.articles which they have
made themselves: woven pothold-
ers, crocheted throw-rugs, four
way match boxes neatly covered
with wallpaper d 5 igns, and
painted and stencilled metal plates.
We all know how easy it is for
anybody to drop a stitch, or miss
a corner in pasting something
down; but there is none of this sort
of thing in these articles. People
seeing them should imagine that
they were constructing the same
things in dusk or evening, and try
to work out in their own minds how
we'll they would do them. The chill
dren are to be congratulated for
their neat, painstaking work
manship.
Mayfair
Dairy-visiting for Mrs. Vera
Gray's second graders at Mayfair
meant new words to add to their
vocabulary lists on the board, new
animals to picture in their farm
scene display, and new trucks and
wagons to draw for their Trans
portation panel. Some of these pro-
jects are now done, and some are
yet to do. Meanwhile, their dairy
trip also gave them memories of
the milk, cottage cheese, and ice
cream they had, and movie to go
with them. Truly, a worthwhile
experience all around!
