perfect attendance.
We all want to thank our Room

Christmas Party. At the party, we
enjoyed opening the gifts we hao
/ given each other, and reading our
| Christmas cards.
In science we are studying about
Winter. We are examining the
trees to find buds, watching our
shadows, reading the thermometer
feeding the birds, and studying
pictures of animal tracks. We have
read about winter birds and what
the animals at the ponds do in VIM
| ter.
We saw a filmstrip about Winter.
We were glad that we could read
the story under each picture.
We are learning Officer Press
lleys Traffic Safety Test. we
thought his dogs in the Safety Cir
Gus did very good job trying to
teach us safety.
In Arithmetic we are learning to
tell time. It is fun to use the small
clock faces and make them show
time like the large play clock. We
are also learning to count money.
In English class we made New
Years resolutions. We hope we can
always remember them. Here are
; few:
1. We will try to use soft voices.

halls.

takes place in the atmosphere
Rain, snow, hail, sleet, frost, and
dew are all part of the weather
So are cold waves, heat waves,
: clouds, breezes, gales, thunder
+, storms, and hurricanes.
! A common saying of Mark

= Weather, but no one ever does any
thing about it" but science has
: done something about the weather
We have learned to make the at
. mosphere conditions inside oul
! homes any temperature we wish il
to be. We can make the air warmer
: or we can cool the air. We can put
more moisture in our homes or the
a offices if it is too dry, or vice versa
, Even outdoors, we have begun tC
I experiment with changing the wea-
. ther. We have made fogs disappear

few times we have created rair
