January and February have been
busy months! We have been learn
ing about winter. Our science
books tell about winter weather
and what animals, birds, plants
and people do in winter. We divid-
ed into groups, each group reading
about one of these things. After we
made our reports, we made books
in which we put winter poems, our
reports and pictures we made. We
learned that the thermometer tells
the temperature and each day we
mark the temperature on the call
endar. We found that snowfiakes
nave six sides or six points. We cut
some from white paper and think
they are pretty.
Mrs Bennett taught us winter
songs. We like "A Wonderful Man
of Snow" Mrs. Kunkle helped us
make picture so big that it COW
ers our bulletin board. 1t shows
boys and girls having winter fun.
There are three birthdays we
celebrate in February-Lincoln's
on February 18th, St. Valentines
on February 14th, and Washing
tons on February 22nd. We looked
at film strips, read and talked
about our two great presidents and
ST. Valentine
Each of us decorated a bag and
put his name on it. We fastened
them up and had fun putting the
valentines in the right bag. On
Friday, February 18th, we took our
bags down and had a good time
opening our valentines. The part
we liked best of all was the party
our mothers had for us. It was
fun.

For several months we have
worked on scrapbooks which con-
tanned all kinds of materials and
stories about the states on which
we chose to do special research.
Most of US have given our reports
to the class about our states, and
have showed our scrapb00ks to
them. We are pretty proud of them.
Tommy Burn read a book called
The Jet Pilot" which is found very
exciting. He brought it to our teach
er and asked her to read it to our
class which she consented to do.
We like it very much. 1t is a true
story of boy who becomes a
Thunderbird pilot.
In the afternoon right after noon
recess, Jack Briggs and others he
chooses are reading mysterious
book called Strange Lost World"
which Jack had previously read
and recommended
Last week we had a Valentines

many exhibits on display and many
models of different kinds which
we have shared with the class and
