Since this is American Education
Week, many parents and friends of
Milford School students have turn
ed their attention toward our
classrooms. In keeping with one
of the purposes of this National
Education Week, that of informing
the American public about the
work and progress of our public
schools, the administrators and
faculty of Lulu NJ. Ross School iss-
ued an invitation to parents and
guardians of it's students to visit
the school on Thursday, November
10th.
To visit a classroom and spend a
school day, or even part of SCH
ool day in observing the activities
of that class, would help to give
clearer idea of its program of work,
classroom procedures, and achieve
ment of students. Yet, there are
many activities of our varied pro-
gram that could not be seen dur
ing any one school day. For in
stance. it may be possible to in
clude in days schedule typical
lesson in five or six subjects, such
as, arithmetic, reading, social
studies, language, science, and
health. Time itself would not per-
nit one to see the follow-up work
in allied activities that may be
correlated to those studies in music,
art, library research, and the
physical education program, that
are integral parts of the child's
education.
To see school through a fifth
graders eyes, there follows several
written accounts by fifth grade
pupils on activities that have given
them opportunity for practicing
language skills, leadership, and
knowledges in lifelike situations.
Our Library
We have a large library in our
school. 1t is round in shape with
many windows. There are round
tables with comfortable chairs on
which to sit. Our librarian is Mrs.
Briggs. She told us that we have
about three thousand, nine hun
dred and sixty books. There are
| books on science, sports, history,
biography, holidays, religion, fict-
ion, animal life, plants, trees, hob
bies. handcraft, music, art, and
many kinds of story books. There
are encyclopedias, globes, and other
things in our library.
In the show cases are many diff
| ferent kinds of shells.
Our class has a library period
every other Wednesday. In addit-
ion, we can take out books before
and after school each day, or go
to look UP some information dur
ing any day when there is no class
scheduled in the library. We all
like to read books. When we were
studying about American Indians
Connie found books on the Pueblo
Indians and the Cherokees. Mary
Beth read a book on the Seminole
Indians. Tom and Randy read ano-
ther book that helped them under
stand our Social Studies called,
He Went With Marco Polo"
