Some Things We Did This Week
Miss Rissmiller took us to gym
class where we had fun learning
how to square dance. Later she
weighed and measured US.
On Tuesday, Mrs. Bennett came
and taught us the elephant march
we will perform in the "Circus"
during the Spring Music Festival.
Some of us will be clowns, ven-
doris, ponies, and acrobats. We will
work very hard to present a nice
program for our parents.
We enjoyed the story of Antarc-
tica in our Weekly Readers. The
pictures of the airplanes, helicop-
Ter, and penquins helped US to bet-
-er read the story We discovered
that Antarctica is a land of ice and
;now--the coldest place in the
world.
TO honor George Washington the
class made colonial hats and drew
pictures of our first President.

The Lincoln Penny
If you have a penny and looked
at it, you would probably find a
picture of one of the greatest Pres
dents America ever had i. Abra-
aam Lincoln
Every year we honor Lincoln's
birthday. But in 1909 special notice

day. One of the biggest celabra-
lions was held that year near
Naodgenville, Kentucky where Lin
.oln was born They were planning
% get his cabin fixed SO that
Americans can always visit 1t. The
Lincoln cabin sits on a small hill.
The cabin is IL by IL feet and IL
logs high. The logs are chinked
with clay. A log chimney at one
end of the cabin is lined with clay.
The only light that comes in is
through small window.
Since the cabin would not last
all the time, the people decided to
build building over it and Pres
ident Theodore Roosevelt layed the
corner stone. When President
Roosevelt saw the medal with Lin
coins picture on it, he wished
every person could see it.
Abraham Lincoln was a great,
but humble man. Now everybody
sees and uses the penny which is
the first to have Presidents pic
ture on it.
This year we remembered Lin
coins one hundred fiftieth birth
day and again penny was made to
honor him. The 1859 penny shows
Lincoln's head on one side and the
Lincoln Memorial on the other.

Our Visit to Switzerland
Mrs. March's fourth grade class
is studying about Switzerland.
Switzerland is surrounded by high
mountains called the Swiss Alps.
The highest peaks range from H.
900 to 10000 feet above sea level.
The most famous Alp is the Mat
terhorn.
First we visited the capital of
Switzerland which is Bern. The
most famous clock in the world is
located in Bern. Every hour when
the clock strikes, little wooden
figures come out The people of
Bern and other parts of Switzer-
land have many skills. Some of the
skills are carving, making watches
and clocks, making cheese, lace.
and many other things.
Next we visited the city and lake
called Geneva. Lake Geneva is the
largest lake III Central Europe. 1t
is shaped like a new moon. The
water of the lake is supplied by
the snow which comes from the
Alps.
The third place we visited was
DavOs. Davos is built on a noun
tain slope. The largest skating
rink in the world is located in Da-
vos. Davos Inn is one of the we'll
known places for skiing in Swift
zerIand.
From DavOs we went out into
the country part of Switzerland
The people of the country take
pride in their animals. Because of
that they have their barn built
right next to the house. In sum-
mer they take their cattle up in
the mountains to Craze From their
