Our Christmas Program
Tuesday, the day before our
Christmas vacation, we had a pro-
gram. We invited our parents anu
some school friends to it.
In our program we had choral
reading: A Visit From st. Nicholas
by Clement Moore.
The children who made Christ
mas scrapbooks showed them 10
our parents and friends. We. each
read something that we had in our
scrapbooks that we liked especi-
ally well. We got our information
from library books, encyclopedias,
newspapers, and magazines.
Then the most wonderful part
of our program-a play called The
Birthday of the King. Different
people acted the parts of the char,
acters in the play such as Mary,
Joseph, the Shepherds, the Wise
Men and others. We sang many of
the Christmas carols to help tell
the story of our play.
At the close of our program our
guests and our class sang Joy to
the World.
We enjoyed getting ready for our
program and giving it. We were
very glad we had large aud
fence.

Our Christmas Mural
Our class made Christmas
mural in December. We drew the
nativity scene and put it on our
large bulletin board. On it we put
the Star shining down on the little
town of Bethlehem and the manger
Far away in the fields we showed
the shepherds watching over their
flocks and the angels appearing to
them from the sky. Off in the dis
tance were the Wise Men riding
upon their camels following the
Star.
We colored them all with colored
chalk.
We had a Christmas play called,
The Birthday of a King. We used
the mural as the background for it.
We thought we had a every nice
mural and enjoyed working on it.

Art
Early in December Mrs. Kunkle,
our art teacher, started us on
some copper work This was to be
a picture for our mothers Christ
mas gift. First she gave us paper
so we could sketch the picture that
we were going to make on the cop
per
The next art period our class
went to the art room and traced it
on the copper. We took our pop
sicle sticks which we had brought
in and pressed down on one side
of the copper and then on the
other-the raised part making our
picture. When we had finished
pressing our copper we took
steel wool to shine and clean it;
then we shellacked it,
When we had finished we nailed
them on plywood that we had al
ready sanded and shellacked. The
wood served as frame for the
picture. When they were completed
we took them home Everyone in
our room made one and they were
all very nice. f

Teeth
This year we have studied about
teeth. We have learned the names
of the teeth, the uses of each kind,
the names of each part of a tooth,
and what we should eat to make
our teeth strong and healthy. We
also learned that we keep our teeth
clean by brushing after each meal
Eating an apple helps to clean the
teeth if it isn't possible to b4ush
them after lunch at school.
Each six weeks our elementary
school nurse, Mrs. Hammond, in
spects our teeth to see if they are
clean. If we have clean teeth we
get S satisfactory. If we have
unclean teeth we get U (unsatis-
factory.
Each child who passes Mrs. Ham
mond's inspection gets his picture
on our "Clean Teeth" bulletin
board.
We clean our teeth to save them
because they help us to chew our
food, to give form to our face, to
help us talk and to bring us good
health. Clean teeth gives us a bet
ter appearance and a better smile.
