favorites. AS long as time is. we
will love the green days of Spring.
Through poetry, we feel a closer
touch with God.
Flowers
Nothing in nature is prettier
/ than the flowers in Spring. First
the pussy willows appear with their
gray hoods drawn tightly over
their heads to keep out the bleak
March winds. Next, we pity and
like the sweet crocus, that pushes
so hard to get his bright yellow
blossom through the hard frozen
earth. Not much later the daffodils
begin to bloom. Then we know
that Spring is really here.
Birds in Spring
There are many birds that come
back in Spring. Some of the first
birds are robin, dove, cowbird
woodpecker, wren, and crow. The
robin is the friendliest bird. She
builds her nest near humans. The
| doye is a friendly birG, too. We
Know him for his coo-coo. The
| cOwDiI1 is the meanest bird. She
| puts her eggs in other birds nests.
Woodpeckers are helpful birds.
They get bugs out of trees. The
wren is the littlest and ;he sweet
est bird. The crow is a big bird. 1t
eats the farmers corn and seeds.
All these birds have their habits.
On the western side of Califor-
| mia there are some old Spanish
| missions. One mission is the home
of thousands and thousands of
swallows. This place is San Juan,
Capistrano. These birds come on
| 18th. These birds know when to
come back by the degree of light.
rhe swallows have only been late
once in many years.
We are having a movie on birds.
We want to learn more about bird
| life.
Children and Spring
Children have fun in Spring.
After the long winter they well
| come this season.
Spring brings winds, and winds
bring kites. Kites zoom through
the air. It's lots of fun, but you
mad better watch for they often get
tangled. Wires could bring danger,
but kites can be fun.
Another sign of Spring is mar
bles. Children's pockets are
pouched. People challenge each
| other. Often they have tourna-
ments. The winner is glad, the loser
is sad. Marbles are as old as folk
lore.
Spring and ball come together.
There are many kinds. Young and
old like it. Perhaps baseball is the
most liked. Ball before school, ball
at school, and ball after school
makes a perfect day. After Spring
is over people still play ball.
Spring is fun for everyone.
While the pleasures of Spring
are many, when it leaves Summer
can't be far away.

Section 2
In our two reading groups we
were reading about the zoos and
180O's. Then Garry Hayes came up
with the idea to have little mu-
scum in our room. Mrs. Derrick
son liked the idea very much. Gar
ry asked everyone to look at home
to see if they had any old things.
Soon we had lot of things on our
table. Then we started to find out
about them. We used resource peo-
pie, our encyclopedia, and many
| other reference books.
We traced progress in many
| areas. Some of our topics were: j:
Progress in Lighting, Progress in
Democratic Government, Progress
| in Transportation, and Progress
| in Communication.
We have a collection of pictures
to go with our reports. Across our
room we have time line" with
important dates made by Ellen
Kunkle, with the help of some of
| our boys and girls. We are going
to have another class in to hear
| our reports.

This year we have a Television
Broadcast every Friday afternoon.
In this broadcast we try to make
it look as original as we can. We
have reports on. Space, Weather,
Sports, National and International
News, and some times we have
Home Town Headlines. We have a
sponsor who gives an advertise
lment. The Humor Department
INgives some jokes. We have two al
ternating panels, one of thirteen
members, and one of fourteen
members.
