What big first graders we are
now! We like to stop and think
of all the things we have learned
in school. Of course, we have
many, many more things to learn
but we are proud of what we have
done.
We can all read now, and some
of US have almost finished oul
pre-primers. We can all count tC
ten, and many of us can count
to one hundred. We can read and
write our numbers, too.
Most of us can write our full
name. We also like to write short
stories. We try to make our papers
very neat.
Before Thanksgiving we learn
ed all about the pilgrims.
We talked about their long
hard journey, about what they
wore, about the Indians who
showed them how to plant corn
and about their first Thanksgiving
dinner Our booklets, called 1.-THE
Pilgrims" had lots of stories and
pictures in them.
We have learned how to paint
and how to take care of ouI
| materials.
Our brothers and sisters don't
have to help US find our busses
now. No one has to help us with
our winter coats, hats, and boots
either.
Our school is big place and
we had to make lots of new
friends, but now we look forward
to coming each day.

We Write Poems:
Christmas Shopping
Christmas shopping keeps you
hopping
Through door, through depart
ment store door,
You're not sure what you'll gel
for your friends as yet,
Oh, Christmas shopping is such a
chore.
Now the shopping is done
And it's time for some fun
No more shopping, No not any
more,
For of all Christmas shopping
It's really the stopping
The ending, that you adore.

We Play:
We play field hockey and soccer
in school. We play them on the
soccer field. l like to play soccer
and hockey. Mrs. Dugan taught us
to play these games.
We learned some of the rules
of hockey. You never raise the
stick above your shoulders. You
never throw the ball or touch it
with your hands.
We also learned some rules of
soccer. You should never have
more than two people on the ball
at once. You never touch the ball
with your hands unless it goes
out of bounds.
We play these games at our
afternoon recess and Mrs. Dugan
is the referee. She also plays
with us.

A girl named Karen Demick
from Tarpon Springs, Florida
wrote a letter to us asking us to
send her some soil from our state
She is going to be in a science
fair and have an exhibit of soils
from all states. We wanted to help
Karen. We sent her some dirt and
a letter. We hope she has good
luck. Patti Hayden
