minutes to play with her
Hornell correspondents in on in
formation about Mayfair, East
Cleveland, and Cleveland as a
whole. They were interested to
discover how much alike their
school subjects were.
Now the children are plan
ming to exchange letters with
boys and girls in other states,
with the eventual goal Of forty
eight of them. 1t is just as in
teresting to find out how much
different parts Of the country
are alike as it is to find out the
differences between them.
The entire school body at
Mayfair enjoyed a Hopi Indian
show recently. After studying
about Indians so much, here
were real Indians. dancing with
real snakes and wearing au-
thentic costumes. AS momen-
to Of the occasion, several of
the children got the autographs
Of the performers after the
show, and talked with them
about their homes and their
way of life.
CALEDONIA
Trips to stores highlighted
two recent days for the kinder
garten classes of Miss Jean
Vokoun and Mrs. Sarah Johns
ton. On one visit they bought
fruit and iello, which they con-
sumed later on at school. They
wrote tor rather drew thank
YOU letters" TO the proprictor5
of the stores on their return, IN
the form Of pictures of foods
that they had seen there. And
when some Of these pictures
were displayed in the window
Of one Of the neighborhood
stores. it made them very
pleased.
The fruit and jello were the
refresnmen at a January
birthday party in the kinder
garten rooms, when all the chill
dren who had birthdays in that
month were honored.
PROSPECT
Mrs. Focke's first graders at
Prospect School have built a
bus. It is a "28" or Express
model. and has headlights. des-
tination sign, and seats in it.
1t is very helpful in teaching
the children important facts
about how TO get on and off d
bus, which many of these little
ones need to know.
At the other end Of the age
scale at Prospect, the sixth
graders in the classes of Mis-
Diane Drake and Miss Edith
Porter have more room to move
around in, now that some seats
have been transferred and the
last midyear sixth grade has
been promoted. This move was
also made with an eye to next
year, for there will be three
sixth grade classes in Septem-
Der. instead Of two as al
present.
CHAMBERS
Figure drawings Of two sorts
have recently been completed by
classes at Chambers School.
Miss Joy Adele Phillis' second
graders made life-size drawings
Of themselves, by lying down OF
huge sheets Of paper on the
floor and having their outlines
traced, and then filling in these
outlines with lines and colors
The children had fun in trying
to guess which of their class
mates each of the drawings
represented, and in most cases
they guessed right.
Large drawings made from
sight Of adults at Chambers
were made by the second grade
lstudents in Mrs. Marth;
Miller's room. They drew pic
lures of the principal, theil
teacher, the school secretary
the school nurse, the custodians
and the book store teacher, AM
with each one of the figure
now on display in the main hall
they printed sign and a word
balloon telling who the perso'
is and what each one does
Some of these drawings are un
usually lifelike.
