We have already decided on some
rules for good citizenship. We
think that by, being good, mind
ing our parents, helping others,
and being friends will help us to
form habits for good living now

We have lived in America for six
years. This month we found out
that Christopher Columbus found
America on October ~, 1892. We
think that is a long time agol The
story said that Columbus and bis
men crossed the Atlantic Ocean in
three sailboats named the Pinta,
Nina, and Santa Maria. Jimmy ask
ed, why didn't Columbus come In
submarine?" They saw many In
dams when they. came ashore. We
have made stand-up pictures of the
boats and Indians for the show
cases In the corridor. We have also
made some pictures of good Queen
Isabella who helped Columbus by
selling her jewels for money to
give to Columbus to buy his boats.
Bobby Geyer made a fine picture of
our flag for the display and wrote
under IL with the teachers big pen:
The Flag of the United States of
America. We say the pledge to our
flag every day.
We are checking on old Jack
Frost by using our ears and eyes.
Each day we add a new sign of
Fall to our chart. Some of the lines
say:
1. Leaves are falling.
2. Seeds are falling.
3. Ii Is getting colder.
4. Ducks are flying South.
B. Leaves are turning red, yellow,
orange and brown.
s. Squirrels are storing nuts.
We sing a song about the little
red leaves. We make believe that
we are leaves, too.
Little red leaves are glad today
That the wind is blowing them
Z off and away.
They're flying here,
They're flying there.
U, little red leaves, you're every
where.
Our best sign OF Fall says Hal
iowe'en is coming. We're getting
ready for a party. 1t will be on
Monday afternoon, October 81. Ka-
tiny Fox's mother is chairman for
our party. We are going to make
our very own masks. We plan to
look like fairies, ghosts, witches.
black cats, and goblins, too. We
will parade in other rooms and
scare all the boys and girls.
Siggie Paczkowski and Sheri King
have brought pumpkins and carved
fine Jack-o-lanterns. We have
learned a poem about those pump
kins:
The Jack-o-lantern chuckled
Then winked his funny eye,
I'D rather be q pumpkin face
Than to be inside a pie"
We are planning for our future
by buying Defense Saving Stamps.
Twenty-one children in our room
nave started stamp albums.
just a short time ago the word
school made some of us afraid
others to wonder, and some of ms
happy. Now after thirty-four school
days we are all happy. We are hav-
