a bowl and dish. Each dish was
made in different shapes.
Oil painting was very interest
ing. First, we chose what kind of
pictures we wanted. Then we
transferred our pictures to the
painting board We learned to
blend colors in our oil paints.
We enjoyed making our reed
baskets. Each of US made different
size baskets. The reed was damp
ened in order to make it easier to
work
Water painting was similar to
oil painting. First, we wet the
paper then very quickly put diff
erent colored paint on. We let the
c0lors run together so they would
mix. We then let them dry before.
we painted our pictures on it.
Our class is now working on our
art Scrap Books. We are collect

our scrap books.

Gym
In gym our class has been doing
tumbling. We have learned to do
many different stunts. We learn
ed to do the Flying Angel, where
we had one person on the bottom
holding the person on top. We
learned the seal walk, dog walk,
crab walk, back roll, and the head
stand.
The last time we had gym we
learned to do different kinds of
pyramids. One group took one mat
to one corner, and the others took
their mats to the other corners.
Then each group did two or three
different kinds of pyramids.
All the children in our class en-
joyed tumbling.

Our Study OF Europe
Our class studied about the
countries of Europe. Each of us
chose a country and made a scrap
book. The country / chose was
Germany. Germany has been di-
vided into two sectors; West Ger
many under the rule of a Fed
eral Republic, and East Germany
under a Communist Dictatorship,
Germany's climate is mild-nOt
too hot in the summer, and not
too cold in the winter. It's popu-
lation is about 71,349, 500 and its
density is about 513 persons to the
square mile
Germany's capitols are Bonn and
Berlin.
Communication in Germany is
mostly by radio, telephone, tele-
graph, and mail. Germany takes up
the heart of Europe. One of Ger
many's main historical places is
the Castle of Neuschwanstien built
in 1869 by Ludwig II of Bavaria.
Castles were common in mountain
areas during the Middle Ages. A
fortified Roman gate called Porto
Nigra was started by Trajan on
the Moselle River in West Ger
many.
Germany also has a net work of
per-highways built during Hit
ler's regime.
l think that I have learned lot
about Germany.

Our Study Of The Federal
Government
During the past several weeks
our class has been studying about
our Federal Government. We start
ed by listening to the Presidents
annual "State of the Union Ad-
dress" After our class heard it
we studied the United States Seal,
the Flag and the Eagle. We studi-
ed about the Eagle because it is on
the Seal and is our National Bird.
Our class has learned who wrote
the Constitution and Bill of Rights,
and why. We now know what the
three main branches of govern
ment are: the Executive, the Legis-
lative, and the Judicial. We have
learned the steps by which bill
becomes law. Our class has learn
ed the qualifications for President,
Vice President, and members OF
Congress. We also know the sal
aries of the three branches of gov
ernment. We know how a man is
nominated by delegates at a ma
tional convention for President.
