Extra Effort
At Calendonia
| Moving on three different
fronts, Caledonia School is
making an extra effort this
winter to protect and enhance
the physical well-being of it's
children.
First, it has made March
physical Development Month" )"
and is presenting an assembly
this week showing various
ways of increasing the physical
fitness of growing boys and
girls through gymnasium class
activity. This assembly is to be
in charge of the principal.
Donald R. Coffee, and the
girls physical education super
visor, Mrs. Virginia Siskowic.
Second, it is safeguarding
the welfare of Hilltop children
by stressing the extra care
needed in proceeding to and
from school under the hazard
Gus conditions imposed by this
severe weathere. The Safety
Patrol has been especially di-
rected to keep children from
sliding down snow mounds
near the curb lines of streets,
and to urge greater caution on
them when encountering slip
perry or other dangerous con-
ditions on the sidewalks and
crosswalks in the neighbor-
hood.
And third, Catalonia teachers
have been emphasizing gen.
eral health rules to their stu
dents, to prevent them from
coming down with one of the
several viruses that are around
at this time of year. They are
urging them, however, to stay
home and rest if they do get
sick, in order to prevent them
from spreading the contagion
to their classmates.
As a result Of these precau-
tions, Caledonia's absence rate
has not risen greatly during
this dangerous season, with
marked advantages both to the
general health Of the children
and the progress Of learning
at the Hilltop School.
Intensive Study
Of Hawaii
From "Aloha"- since this
word can mean either "Hail"
or "Farewell"-the fifth grade
students in Miss Nancy Kir-
by's room at Mayfair School
have been making an intensive
study of our newest state,
Hawaii, under the direction of
their student teacher from Kent
State University, Miss Virginia
Greene.
Many features Of this exotic
land and it's hospitable people
have been studied by the chill
dren, including its history, Ian
guage, agriculture, industries,
and many tourist attractions,
such as it's very real and active
volcanoes. They are making
time-line chart Of the history
of Hawaii, a map Of it's many
islands, a model of one Of its
old buildings, and a facsimile
of a volcano. !
Both individual and group
projects have been carried out
by the children in describing
this charming land, and the re-
suits of these researches will
soon be assembled into a dis
play which can be examined by
other classes Of the school.
They have also planned a series
of oral reports on Hawaii, to
be presented as a social stud
les program for the benefit of
their schoolmates. The interest
of the class in this far-away
part of the nation has been
very high.
Old Objects
Are Collected
A most interesting collection
Of old objects has been assem-
bled in their classroom by the
third grade pupils Of Mrs.
Hazel Stephenson at Prospect
School, by bringing things
from home which their parents
have preserved for a long time.
