ty's Section i
In September we had fun read
ing, writing and drawing about
"Shell-fish at the Seashore". We
had a very interesting filmstrip
about them too. Nancy Rechhold
brought her large collection OF
seashells, which included a Star
fish and a Sea Horse. She also
brought her "SeashOre Book for
things about life at the seashore.
Lesley Glenn brought a snail in
his shell house, and we saw him
walk. Donna Hammond brought a
very, very large Conch-shell from
Florida. Many boys and girls
brought pictures and shells for our
science table. The boys made some
very good pictures of scenes under
the water.
Just now we are reading, writ
ing and drawing about signs OF
Autumn. We have seen in our
fflmstrips, How Seeds Travel.
"How Animals, Birds, Plants and
People get ready for Winter. We
| learn a great deal in a short time
from the filmstrips

the bulletin boards are always in
teresting. We like to read and SO

learning about fire prevention, and
the world in which we live.

MY TREE
In my yard l have a tree,
My tree does many things for me.
On it's limb there is a swing.
I sail so high | start to sing.
I sing my song like brides do.
If you had my tree and my swing
too,
You would sing my song the whole
day through.

Section 3
In our fifth grade class we are
doing many interesting things this
year. The girls are learning to play
hockey in gym class. They are
learning how to hold their hockey
sticks properly and how to hit
the ball correctly
Every other Tuesday our class
goes to the school library. The
books are divided into groups such
as: fiction, science fiction, ami
NAL stories, stories of famous peo-
pie, etc. We think that having Ii
brary books to exchange in our
room helps us to improve our read
ing
Our 5th grade chorus meets each
Wednesday. We are singing two
part songs. One section sings So
prano while the other sings alto.
Then on the next song we change
parts, which gives everyone a
chance to sing the high and low
parts.
We are reading about the ex-
plorers to the New World in our
Social Studies. Filmstrips and mo-
vies about the voyages of Colum-
bus and Magellan add interest to
our study. Now we are making
maps and charts to show where
the explorers travelled and the i'm
portance of their voyages.
