Sixth Grade
By Phil Stone, Reporter
On Wednesday afternoon,
April 15. we had our Language
j Arts Fair. One group of boys
and girls from the sixth grades
presented a play, one group
sang three songs with records
and another had an Indian
choral reading. We had fun do
ing these and hope our parents
and friends enjoyed them. Af
ter the program we invited our
guests to our class rooms to see
some of the work we had been
doing. (
We are glad to have Dorothy
Shannon back at school after |
having been in the hospital for.
several weeks.
On Friday we had a nice j
May Day surprise from our j
teacher. She gave each of us a
bar of candy.
In kickball Drew Cook’s team
won over Judson Caldwell’s.
The scores were 23-6.
Our class voted to play soft
ball instead of kickball for the
next two weeks. The captains
are Phil Stone and Tim Hop
kins.
On our last illustrated book
reports Kathy Mitchell won the
first place blue ribbon. Carol
Callaway won the second place
red ribbon and Charles Rey
nolds won the third place white
ribbon.
Mrs. Ramsev’s
First Grade
We are certainly enjoying the
playground on these warm days.
There were very few days this
winter when we could go out
side. Our room has been spring
like inside also with our d'raw’-
ing of flowers and birds. We
have enjoyed the pretty flow
ers brought by Mike Allen,
Debra Tauton, Bill Brooks, Su
san Lord and Jane Kitchens.
Jimmy Hutchins brought a
baby frog to school. Billy Galt j
found one on the playground
too. We have been reading ।
about tadno'es and frogs in |
“Round About. Jimmy wore
his new baseball suit and cap
to school on Monday. Bobby
Gunnells caught a fish last
weekend. All of this sounds ।
like “spring is here”, doesn’t it? ,
Debra Taunton went to Ala- 1
be ma to see her grandparents
last weekend.
Last Sunday 16 boys and
THE COVINGTON NEWS
. i
girls in our class went to Sun- <
day School and 14 of these 1
went to church. We are old
enough to go to church every 1
Sunday. 1
Mrs. Ramsey made several
tape recordings of our voices.
We have tried hard to improve
our pronunciation and enunci
tion. We also made a tape of our i
reading groups. This was very
revealing to most of us. 1
We have had fun talking
about the people who help us 1
each day It was quite a long list
when we completed it. Do you
ever stop to think how many
people help you every day?
We like number work and
our teacher thinks we are do
ling real well.
David Elliott and Becky Bal- j
lard made such pretty pictures
with tempera paints. All of us 1
drew May baskets on May Day.
We like our song about the
robin and the one about “Being
Happy”. We made recordings of
the songs “Our Flag” and “Our ,
Numbers”.
Writing has been stressed this j :
year throughout our school. We
like to write and we are striv- ;
ing to form our letters correctly. i
Mrs. Weaver's Homeroom
Here it is May and for all the
school children it means that it i
is almost time for summer vaca
tion. For eighth graders at i
Ficquett it means those extra ;
privileges received for work
ing eight years in grammar
school.
The first big night will be
| Friday the eighth. This is the
night the seventh grades give
the eighth grades a party. We
are looking forward to it very
much.
Also on Friday the eighth is
Field Day. There are going to
be relay races, shot putting for
boys, soft ball thrown for girls
and dashes. Here’s hoping Fic
quett wins.
Saturday the 16th is the date
of the eighth grade picnic. We i
plan to go to Indian Springs.
Friday the 22nd is the ban
quet night. This is the night
that prophesies will be read.
Also the names who were voted
most popular and so forth will
। be read.
. Graduation night is the 29th.
i This will be our big night. We
have enjoyed our work in the
18th grade so much and have
I learned a great deal. Our room
has had 100 percent attendance ■
I for this month. We are proud
of this.
Bill Allgood, reporter
Mrs. Allgood’s
Third Grade
We have been doing lots of
things in Mrs. Allgood’s third
grade. We have been studying
our five's in Arithmetic.
In our reading books we have
read about Norway, Lalpland,
England. Brittany, and Spain.
We have written poems about
Hiawaii and other places. We
have had English lessons which
help us with our pronunciation.
We have done experiments in
science which help us know sci
ence better.
Mrs. Allgood has taught us
how to write real writing but,
sometimes we practice printing. (
We have been learning our (
multiplication and division in
arithmetic.
We have written some poems
about Hawaii and here are some
of them:

Hawaii is an island
j Out in the ocean blue.
She is one of our states now
And she is welcome, too.
