We had to write a Litterbug

the best this is how it goes:
To a Litterbug
Litterbug, Litterbug,
How careless can you be?
Making every pretty place
An awful sight to see.
Thrash here, paper there,
Scattered far and wide,
You ought to be so ashamed
That you would run and hide!
Litterbug, Litterbug,
Won’t you change your sloppy
ways?
And learn that being tidy
Is a habit that always pays’
Some boys and girls in our
room made an Easter buletin
board. It is veiry pretty. We will
try to have more news next
week.

A Zoo
A zoo is a place where strange
animals live, and bears, lions
and all kinds of animals. And
also monkeys are the funny
animals. I like the zoo very
much and the best animals are
lions.
And the animals live in cages.
Monkey’s live in cages and lions
in cages and also bears live in
cages and all these animals live
in cages. Bears do but we do
not. The animals come from far
away places. Lions come from
Africa and monkeys also come
from Africa.

Brittany
by Margie Durden
Brittany is a place where
there are lots of fishing villages.
In one of these villages lives
Yvon and Ann. These children
liked to go down to the seashore
and watch the boats take off.
On day Yvon was day dream
ing. He was dreaming of new
clothes to wear to the Fete of
the Blue Nets.
He was going to make a trap
and catch lobsters. He was go
ing to sell them at the market.
When everything was done
except the nets, Yvon could not
put them in. He went to ask
fisherman Jack to help him.
When the trap was finished,
Yvon was ready to catch lob
sters.
Brittany
by Byron Mobley
Many Brittany people are
fishermen. Their boats have
many colored sails. People wear
wooden shoes. Their streets are
cobblestone.
They like snails and lobsters.
Their houses are made of stone
and the fireplaces are almost
as long as the room. Their beds
are cupboards beds too, which
I would like. The boys like to
wear a hat with ribbons on the
back. If I were going across the
sea, I would visit Brittany first.
But I would not like to eat
snails.
Brittany
by Judy Forrester
Britany is a country across
the sea. Brittany is in France.
The people wear wooden shoes.
They also sleep in cupboard
beds. When the children need
something they would earn it.
We met two children named
Ann and Yvon. They wanted to
go to Concarneau but they did
not have tight trousers, a hat
with ribbons, blue skirt, a white
apron and a vest. We also met
Fisherman Jack. He was the
best fisherman in Brittany.
Brittany
by Anne Baxter Pratt
In our reading there are two
children named Ann and Yvon.
Ann is a girl. Yvon is a boy.
Ann and Yvon are brother and
sister. Oh, how they would like
to go to the Fete of the Blue
Nets. They would wear fine
Blue Nets. The Fete of the

their best clothes if they are
going to the festival.
Brittany
by Jimmy Davis Ray
Once there was a boy and a
girl in Brittany. Their names
were Yvon and Ann. One night
Yvon and Ann were looking
at the fishing boats leaving.
Yvon and Ann were thinking
how they were going to get
money. Yvon had an idea.
In the morning he would make
a lobster pot. Yvon did not
bring in enough fire wood. Then
his mother called him back
and forth to get some more
fore wood.
Brittany
by Mary Margaret Allgood
In Brittany the giris wear
clothes like their mothers. The
boys wear the same as their
fathers. The men have a loose
coat and tight trousers. The
people make a living by being
cobblers, bakers and fishermen.
Most people make a living as
fishermen. They have colored
sails on their boats. They have
cupboard beds. They have one
room cottages. On one side of
the cottage there is a huge fire
place.
Brittany
by Mary Ann Freeman
Brittany is a beautiful coun
try. There are red, blue, orange
sails on the boats. Their art is
cooking. Ann and Yvon are
nice children. One day Ann and
Yvon thought about the festival
but they had no nice clothes to
wear to the festival. They had
to wear their best clothes. Then
Yvon tried to make some money
by catching lobsters. One day
he made a lobster pot. He
caught just one lobster. When
he opened the trap the lobster
fell out. Poor Yvon!
Brittany
by Susan Purdy
Far across the ocean is the
country of Brittany. Brittany is
a place where most people make
a living by fishing. They wear
wooden shoes. They are very
much like ours. They don’t
wear clothes like we do. Their
men go fishing every day when
the sun goes down. I am sure
you would like to visit Brittany.
Brittany
by Charles Bohanon
Brittany is a nice place. The
families are poor, though Brit
tany is a fishing village. It
would take a yardstick to mea
sure a loaf of bread in Brittany.
Also, in most Brittany houses
there are no stoves or ovens.
They have a festival which is
called The Fete of the Blue
Nets. Everyone wears costumes
and the festival lasts for a day.
The men wear tight trousers
and smocks. The boys dress like
the men and the girls wear
clothes like the women.
Brittany'
by Bessie Jo Huson
Brittany is a little country in
France. At evening the priest
comes down and blesses the
boats and all the people wish
them a safe trip home and a
good catch. Yvon and Ann come
down to watch the boats go off
too. Every’ time he sees them go
he says to Ann “When I grow
up I will have a boat of my
own”. It was not long before
it was time for the Fete of the
Blue Nets. But Yvon and Ann
did not have any new clothes
to wear.
Brittany
by Jackie Huff
Brittany is a very nice place
but the houses in Brittany are
very funny, There is a fireplace
on one side of the house and a
cupboard on the other side, No,
it isn’t a cupboard after all. It
is two beds, one on each shelf.
Most people fish for their liv
ing They catch lobsters too.
They sell part of what they
catch in the market.
Brittany
by Marcia Elixer
In Brittany the men wear
shirts like smocks. The men
wear trousers and caps. The
women wear long dresses and
aprons with a cap. The boys and
girls wear what their mothers
and fathers wear. Ann and
Yvon are sister and brother.
One morning mother was cook
ing snail soup. Yvon has a lob
ster pot. One morning he went
to see if he had any. He did
have a lobster. He was getting
the lobster when the bottom
fell out.
Brittany
by Sara Beth Cooper
Once there was a village
named Brittany in France. This
village has cobblestone streets.
The house has only one room.
They have a fireplace that goes
all across the room and cup
board like beds. The women I
and girls clean the house while .
men and boys catch fish and I
lobster, mend sails and things,
also make lobster pots. They
like their jobs very much. At |
lunch some people have snails ;
with sauce. It’s very good to,
