both foreign and domestic w S.
1t is written in words that we can
understand. 1t also has a page on
science. 1t helps us to know what
important things are happening in
our world today. 1t also helps us
to know who the important people

Stamp Day
Our room is in charge of the saw
ing stamp program. We have stamp
day each Tuesday. Every week we
find the number of stamps bought,
cash received, enrolment and the
number of pupil buying. Then we
find the percentage for the school
We also find which room has the
greatest number of children buy
ing. One of the reasons for savings
is so that we can have money when
we need it for important things.

Poetry
We have been studying some
poetry this year. The first tw o
poems that we learned were Sep
tember and October by Helen Hunt
Jackson. We enjoyed studying
these poems very much. They give
us a nice picture of the tw o
months.
Next we studied about r b e
Frost. He is one of our famous
living poets. We read books about
him and made reports. We also lis
tened to some of his poems which
were recorded by Mr.. Frost him
self.
We are now learning the poem,
Columbus" by Joaquin Miller. 1t
is about one of our great explorers
who would never give up his idea.
"He gained a world; he gave that
world
It's grandest lesson: On! sail on.

In Art we have done several
things since the beginning of
school One was construction. We
used many odds and ends to make
all kinds of things.
We did block printing. We carv-
ed our designs out of linoleum and
then with the use of the printing
press and ink that was rolled on
the block we made our print on
paper.
We also learned how to make
mobiles. We made them out of
pipe cleaners and many other diff
| ferent materials. We worked in
groups of five or six when we made
our mobiles.
Now we are making animals out
of wire and plaster of paris. We
think these will be nice when they
are finished.
Mr.. Bassols, our art teacher,
comes to our room every two
weeks
