Ithat had been thrown en the

%a car. There were many more in

'You know it pays toc be careful.
So always be careful!
‘ Mr. Rich came Tuesday and
brought a French horn and some

them all the way from the first to
[the end. The records had the

beautiful. We hope we can be in
a band some day. We enjoyed his
singing them very much. .

'barley. They had tame animals,
From these animals they had beef

Miss Tabor’s Class
November has brought the wind
and rain, Armistice Day and
Thanksgiving Day to us again.
Would you like to know how
November got it's name? It was
the ninth month of the year in the
old Roman calender. Its mname
comes from the Latin “Novem,”
which means nine. ‘f’hough the
month became the eleventh in the
Julian cejendar, the name re
mained the same.
The third grade has been learn
ing about the woodland Indians,
the plains lindians, and the desert
Indian. We have been learning
about the various customs that are
typical of each type of Indian. We
are learning how the Indian heip
ed the white man when he eame
to this country. Many of the In
dians were very friendly. The
class has learned a “Rain Chart”
that was used by the Indians
when they wanted rain, The study
of Indians will lead us to the study
of early settlers in tg\is country,
We will scon know the story of
the first ‘l'hanksgiving Day.
The regular lessons have been
very interesting too. We are now
atudying the more difficult addi
tion and subtraction combinations
in arithmetic. Our last English les
sons have taught us how to write
paragraphs. The class wrote two
news stories about Princess Eliza
beth and her trip to the States.
The stories were made into charts
for the bulliten board. A new
phonetic game, “Lengo,” helps us
understand initial consonant soun
ds in reading and spelling. We are
making “Good Maners” booklets.
The rlass reads and wrights each
day and sometimes we have tests.
Cur many lessons keep us very
busy all day.
Mrs. Boswell’s Class
We can tell that winter is here.
