Thursday, May is, was Play Day.
The first and second grades play
ed together. Miss Rissmiller di-
vided us into six groups, putting
some from each of the six rooms
in each group. BY doing this we
made new friends. We had such
good time that some of US wish
ed we could play all day!
We have been learning about
birds, and have found that they
help us by eating insects that
would destroy our crops. Each of
us chose two or three birds in
which we are Interested and found
out about their color, nests, food,
songs. and whether or not they
migrate.
School will soon be over, so we
are getting our work finished. We
are glad that we have learned to
do many things this year and find
that the better we can read, the
more we enjoy it.
Most of us are beginning to think
about vacation. Some of us are
going to visit friends, others are
going to the beach, and others are
going to stay at home. But all OF
us are going to have good time!
