able.

Our class officers for the month
of December are:
resident-James Holland.
President-Eugene Lord.
ecretary-Donna Emory.
We eject new officers each month.
Each person in our room has some
responsibility. We care for the
flowers, take care of playground
equipment, art materials, music
materials, or act as messengers.
We try to use correct paTliamen-
tary practice in our meetings. We
are trying to learn to work and
live together.
Donna Emory and Eugene Lord
are our representative to Student
Council. Donna is also secretary
of the Student Council.
We have Pen Pals in Moville,
Iowa. They had so much snow on
November IL that they went skiing.
One of the girls lives on a pony
farm. They have twenty-three pu-
pills in their room.
We are stressing handwriting
The first of each month we write
poem or jingle and compare
it with our penmanship the month
before.
In Social Studies we recently
studied about New York City. Miss
Wainwright. our librarian, lived in
New York City. She came in and
talked to us. She told us many in
teresting things which are not in
our books.
Some one from our class will
raise the flag on December 21, %,
and %.
We are learning to write inter-
esting friendly and business let
ters.
We are making our Christmas
decorations. We have made a mu-
raj of the Nativity scene. We have
sprayed magnolia leaves and pine
cones with gold paint. We have
made mobiles, candles, and tree
decorations.
We hope all the readers of the
Milford Chronicle have a Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year.
We had our first snowfall of the
season on December Z. We talked
about it in class. Many of us ask
ed questions about the weather and
what causes the different kinds of
weather.
We made a list of the things we
wanted to know. We used many
reference books to find our ans
wers. We thought you might enjoy
some of our stories.
