Assembly
Our class was in charge of As
sembly for the month of February.
We built our program around all
our school activities for that
month. Each of us had something
to do. Some wrote our material; !;
others read it. A group of children
danced to a tune called Captain
Jinks" in which eight children par
ticipated. We had completed our
cloth mural and showed it for the
first time to the rest of the classes
at our Assembly. This mural is
now on display in the lobby of our
school. We had lots of fun prepar-
ing for, and presenting, this pro-
gram. We hope those who were
able to be present enjoyed it.
Philadelphia Trip
On April IL, 1858, we are going
to Philadelphia on our class trip.
We are going to take box lunch
to eat on the bus.
We have read about many of the
places and things we hope to see.
Some of the places we hope to
visit are: Independence Hall, Con-
gress Hall, Carpenters Hall,
Christ Church, Betsy Ross House,
Franklin Institute, The Planetari-
um in Franklin Institute, and the
Academy of Natural Sciences.
When we return from Philadel-
phia we will put all our informa-
tion into scrapbooks we hope to
make ourselves We can hardly
wait for April 18th to come.
Famous Men
The other day we read, and had
class discussion, about Ben Frank
lin and Thomas Jefferson. That
afternoon we saw films about
these famous men. We are interest
ed in knowing about these great
Americans who took so great a
part in American History. When
we go to Philadelphia on our class
trip, we will see many things rep
resenting them and their famous
deeds.
Social Studies
We are studying about N. Cen
tral, and Rocky Mountain States.
We have three committees set up
representing these units. Each of
us has chosen State to study and
report on. So far, we have used
our textbooks, encyclopedia, al
manac, atlas, dictionaries, and
magazines. We have written the
Chamber of Commerce OF each
State for pictures and other in
formation that eould help. us in
this study. After we have gathered
facts and information we are in
terested in learning about, we plan
to have a mock reporter conven-
tion.
We think this will be fun, and
at the same time help US in know
ing more about Our United States.
Art
We are doing stencil work in
Art. The first step we made was to
draw pictures of anything we liked,
such as, animals, flowers, toys,
etc. The second step was to trace
these pictures onto tracing paper
so we could transfer them onto
stencil paper. This paper is hard
and has a wax covering. We cut
our stencils out and experimental
with them with crayons. We are
going to use these stencils on
cloth with paint. -
Baton
When baton lessons started ten
girls in our room took lessons;
some of them took lessons last
year. There are two groups: adj
vanced and beginners. Lessons are
every Friday from 800 to 400.
The leaders are Mimi Hollowell,
leader of the advanced group, and
Nancy Knicely, leader of the be-
ginners. During the last few weeks
they have been practicing for a
concert the Milford School is going
to have April 20 on the football
field.
